I have found some of my questions answered and some not. It's very nice when you get an answer but I found the toughest stuff for me (configuring the system) often went unanswered and forced me to read more carefully and investigate what was on the machine more fully. It seems to me there are many ways of accomplishing many of the tasks that come up and in the end I benefited from not having easy answers at times. I'll occasionally respond to someones posting because it sounds familiar and I know it's frustrating getting no answer and frustrating being new at freebsd (worth the effort though). I got the best answers when understanding my problem better - and thanks to all of you by the way - and to all maintaining websites and writing books etc. Greg Martin gregm@netidea.com > Hi list > Could I be so bold as to ask what criteria is used to determine which questions (posted to the list) are answered first (or at all)? > > I had noticed that some folks manage to get 2 and 3 postings answered consequtively while my newbie posting appears to be avoided =) > > What do I draw from this?
