Now now children, The point of mail lists is to provide help and support, not to provide banter.
Either way, millions of people around the world provide and are provided support through community efforts such as this. Giving someone an answer outright limits their requirement to think about strange problems, ensuring that they understand why what when and how will make sure they not only are empowered to help themselves, but also that they are empowered to help others (and boy will I never forget when I was first able to provide meaningful assistance to others) So you are right, don't ridicule, but also, unless the question demands a 1 line syntax type answer, provide help, assistance and answers where required. Ok ok, off my soap box :) _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
