There is the standard seven day lurk method which has been around since time immemorial. Posting preferences are a matter of local culture, and such things are acquired rather than recorded. When entering any unfamiliar culture, it is a good idea to observe for a while before jumping in and possibly offending. Filing bugs about your inability to do this is about as productive as writing to your MP to complain about being chucked out of the Palace for breaking wind in the presence of royalty. -- Neil Bothwick Power outage at a department store yesterday, Twenty people were trapped on the escalators.
