Hi :)
I think that is fair enough.  The 2 worst case scenarios i can see as a result 
are 
1.  A questionner gets 2 almost identical answer or the same advice given in 2 
different ways.
2.  A questionner gets 2 completely different answers going in different 
directions

Both are actually quite positive.  In 2 the questionner gets to pick and choose 
which answer they like or they get to try both ways.  In 1 the questionner is 
given greater confidence in the answer and maybe has a greater understanding of 
how to deal with side-issues.  

Both cases occur anyway and that is part of the advantage of having a public 
list.  No-one can get along well with everyone all the time.  If we all did 
then there would be substantial less great and inspiring art, literature, 
innovations and all the rest.  So, i think it is all good.

Regards from
Tom :)

If a poster insists that he be able to post in a manner that I find
confusing and offensive, then I'm not interested in reading anything
he is writting.

I find it very effective in making this mailing list readable.
