Sorry, but I don't think that will work. The FAQs are there - they're announced on the same website where people find the address of this mailing list to subscribe and post messages. If they haven't read the FAQs (or understood the bit which relates to their question) by the time they get here, I don't think anything else is going to stop them posting what we might think is a simple question with a logical answer, but enough other people clearly can't work out for themselves (that's not a criticism - I'm saying people are thick - I'm just saying that they haven't been able to figure out the answer for themselves, therefore they post the question here). > Antony, how often did you answer this very question? Yes, you're right - exactly the same question from several different people over the past few weeks. I'm tempted to put the answer on one of my web pages and just reply with the URL from now on. Antony.
