PP = "Political" Post.
i think we've seen in the past few years that RTFM is often a good
solution to getting to know a subject, while STFE (Search The Fucking
Engine) is often a very good solution to solving specific problems.
i suggest then that using the STFE reply be considered a good advice, just
like RTFM is. as past postings show, very often people could have found
the solution to their problems using a 5-10 minute search on google (thus,
the acronym variant of STFG comes to mind) or on dejanews (now
groups.google.com).
i'm using this opportunity to repeat my plea - please, please _please_
use a search engine before you post your question here. hardly anyone
encounters problems that weren't encountered previously by other people,
and very often, a search on google or google's groups would yield an
answer in a few minutes, as was demonstrated here time and again. your
problem is not unique. people had it before you, and will have it after
you, and they already asked about it somewhere on the net.
if you perform the search and fail to find a solution or answer in a
reasonable time (e.g. 5 minutes or 10 minutes), then no one would hold
that against you if you post the question to the list, _stating_ that you
have searched google and failed to find a solution there. i know that
using a search engine requiers some practice to learn to come up with
proper keywords, but its a skill you own to yourself (and to the rest of
us).
beading you a prosperous STFE,
