Hi
It is becoming apparent that many questions on this list are being
repeated and some are quite sraightforward for want of a better phrase.
Could I suggest that before a question is posted the following things are
done
1) Read the wiki
2) Search the mailing list archives
3) Try google to see if there is already an answer on the web
Also I recommend every user to get a good handbook on Latex as most
queries are more Tex than Lyx.
Please don't get me wrong, I am not forgetting what it was like to be
puzzled by Lyx/Latex, and I am as guilty as the next man when it comes to
asking 'obvious' questions.
All I am saying is that in my experience I have learnt more by playing
about and finding the answer by research, and using the list as a last
resort. Mainly as it opens upo things I never knew about extending my
perception of Latex's power.
However if you do have questions post away as I am happy to help out as
best I can (as many people may already be aware) as are others on the
list with vastly better knowledge than me. And sometimes when the
thesis deadline is looming spending hours trying to find out how to move a
title or include a footnote is not condusive to the stress levels and
the list is a useful 'quick fix' source!!!
I hope this is read in the manner intended.
