Bob,
This is a hard one. From a personal standpoint, I am more
interested is knowing that the problem was solved, then is getting a
personal thanks if provided the answer. I don't know how the others on
the list feal, but I would think a generic thanks to the list stating
that the problem was solved, and what the solution was would be a good
way to do it. This has the advantage of letting someone else with the
same problem scan the archives and finding the answer.
I know I have some answers archived on my macine that provide a
way of doing things that I haven't needed yet, but look like they will
come in handy. (Now if only they were indexed better, so I could find
them easyer...)
