You're telling me that in ALL the billions of pages of the WWW, you
couldn't find a group to which you could pose your question and get a good
answer? I find that RATHER disingenuous.
Or are you saying you lack the patience to find such a group, or if you
do, to then wait for an adequate answer like the rest of us?
My problem is that you are abusing the list with your numerous questions
that have nothing to do with what we're here to suggest. At least 3-4 in
the past month.
Might I make a suggestion? In the past, when I've exhausted all other
resources, I come to the list (as a last resort) and pose my question and
request OFF-LIST replies. It's momentarily intrusive, as opposed to
creating an entire thread that belongs in some other forum somewhere else
on the internet.
The list is certainly a great resource of highly intelligent people who
have expertise is a wide range of technical and otherwise subject areas,
but DON'T ABUSE IT.
