But what do I do if they > don't get answered? Well, 90% of the time when I don't get an answer to my questions it's because I asked it without doing much research. These days I mostly try to ask "Where can I find some more info on ....." and I'll get two or three good pointers. After a bit of research, I'm usually ready to come back and ask a more pointed question. Of the other 10% of questions, it's usually because I'm asking about some program that no one really uses, or it's been answered to death on both the list (mail archives!) and in the handbook.
