And when 'newbies' sign up to this list, they get a copy of the 'Newbie Guide', with a wealth of information on how to ask smart questions, how to find answers to common problems, etc. If they are not going to use that advice, and just blast the list with an OT question, or one that's been asked a zillion times, why should we take the time out to help those who are not going to help themselves? -- John C.
