So often you'll see a thread talking about trying X, Y & Z, then the
person having the problem never responds back as to whether X, Y or Z
worked. Which is especially troublesome a year or two later when you're
digging through threads in GMane trying to find a solution to a
particular issue.
(Pet peeve of the day -- dead end threads on mail lists.)
Couldn't Agree more.
Sheesh! I'm sorry that my action of adding [Solved] to the subject has
stirred up such a can of worms. I initially thought that the person
who contacted me off-line was being prissy. I can now see that strong
opinions are held on both sides of the debate, but it is definitely
off-topic, I believe (subject to correction by the owners of the list,
of course). Please can we drop it?
Of course you can - just tag it as [SOLVED] - LOL! ;)
