I appreciate the positive sentiment of your message, Drew, but this
sentence stood out and is worthy of note.  If you're posting to a
discussion group where you want help, you should make it as *easy as
possible* for someone to answer your question.  It is a *good* thing to
provide information to people so that they "[do] not need to think or
anything"!

You should not demand or expect that people go out of their way to
figure out what you mean, when it is simpler for you to explain it as
part of your enquiry.  Don't make your questions to discussion groups
intentionally unclear, Drew!

In short, always err on the side of "too much information" rather than
too little.

Cheers,

Dave.
