Yes, and no. IMHO, the list should be a place to gain information. I feel that I provided some information that is of general value. I indicated to the list a willingness to see that the enquirer received assistance. I also provided general information that someone needs to examine in order to isolate the problem. This is of general value. However, the details of this individual's particular problem are not likely to be of value for most readers until we isolate the problem. At that point, a synopsis of the situation, posted to the list, would provide a concise summary for everyone's benefit. If you feel differently, that is your privledge. Would you prefer to handle this query? I can always add you to my kill list so that I am not bothered by the traffic.
