The charter seemed to state that this forum was not for technical questions, but then I saw technical questions come across the list. Questions seemed to be the right place. So, the charter is fine. It seems that skirting the rule a bit isn't that big of an infraction. I suppose it couldn't hurt to add a notation to the charter. Perhaps a mention that one can discuss technical issues, but that answers are best found in other forums. > BTW, this is an excellent guide to using technical mailing lists: > http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Cool!
