[Guidelines for getting questions answered]
>Comments?
One point that is often missed in my experience. You may not get an answer to
your questions ever simply because no-one knows the answer. One repost might
be justified, but posting again and again is not appreciated. If the readers
of the list don't know the answer they will just say nothing. Far better that
than 200 messages on the list all saying "Sorry, I can't help".
Agreed?
