I not sure if you were being accused of being lazy as such but actually
being given the suggestion that there are other places that you can find
these answers that are probably better for a number of reasons
1) Speed, you don't have to wait for someone to reply although i hope you
are continuing your research whilst waiting
2) Accuracy. I have not seen it here but there are some people who would
consider it fun to provide an incorrect or dangerous solution to someone
they though was asking too basic a question
3) Collateral learning, whilst looking for the solution it is highly
likely that you will unearth other information that answers questions you
have yet to raise.
Alister, you are right, of course. The reality is that I discovered this trove
of
a newsgroup and I am rather shamelessly taking advantage of it.
Rest assured that I cross check and learn what is associated with each
and every answer I get. So nothing is wasted. Hopefully your answers
are also useful to others who may find them at a later stage through foofle
groups.
Also very important, I am very grateful for the support I am getting from you
and from others.
