You wouldn't believe how many "FAQ"s, archives and links are out there and sometimes it's just not what you want or it just doesn't quite suit your purpose. Someone's previous live experience gives you that little bit of extra. Although we may not say it, I think that most of us do our "homework" before we decide to put a question up on a mailing list. The documentation for a lot of these products is good but there is no documentation comparable to someone's experience. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
