It might be wise to match up people based on hardware. Sending me a question about mitsumi cd rom drives is not going to get an informed answer. I realize that a forms based approach is a pain in the ass but it would make better matching easier to automate. If not, the ability to route newbies to the proper pool after being automatically assigned would be OK. I just don't want some poor clod to bounce around until someone (and remember, we are talking the lurker here) with the proper experience and hardware gets it. Boyd You would all be pissed if I posted every question I got here so that I could answer newbie questions for hardware I don't have. I would. :-) "Perhaps if you read the source code..." -- _______________________________________________________________________ Boyd Faulkner faulkner@isd.tandem.com _______________________________________________________________________
