I've seen requests like this on various mailing lists with much higher traffic all the time. You know, I've been here a while, and if I see a request for help from Gene Heskett asking for a reply via CC because his server is down, I'm darn well going to answer it. Furthermore, I'm sure he'd do the same for me. A technical list whose subject matter will necessarily involved crippled servers from time to time is far different from, say, a threaded discussion of Britney Spears. > Stop expecting other people to shoulder your burden.

Unless something catastrophic happens, I have no problems asking for or getting help via this mailing list.

Sorry, Scott, but you seem to have posted without knowing what you're talking about it. > Sorry, I will shut up now. Thanks. -- Kirk Strauser In Googlis non est, ergo non est.
