That was an omission. Thanks for reporting this. I just fixed it in the 
current subversion release.

That's fine. I'm glad that we could help you.

Nobody expects anybody to know everything ;-)

But you can help us to help you, if you send only those portions of your 
mail back to the mailing list that are relevant to your question.

This may be easier, if you get single mails and not a daily digest. If 
you checked the "daily digest" option (Yes), then you may try to change 
your subscription or cancel it and subscribe again without this option.

Also, if you have a newsreader (e.g. mozilla thunderbird), it may be 
easier to use this for the fltk newsgroups. If you select "Forums" on 
the FLTK website ( <http://www.fltk.org/newsgroups.php> ), you see a 
short sentence "Point your news reader at news.easysw.com to view these 
forums directly.". Yes, that's short, but it means that you start your 
newsreader, and when you choose to subscribe to a news group, you enter 
"news.easysw.com" as the server name, and then you can select 
fltk.general, e.g..

I think that nobody was or wanted to be harsh to you. Someone wanted to 
explain to you what you _should_ do to get help. He explained to you 
that "this is basic netiquette". You can read more about this here:

Of course ...
