You may have misconstrued my comments about the "black hole" as inferring a lack of answers from the list. On the contrary, I've found people here are quite helpful and I am very appreciative. I was referring to the fact that I have actually sent close to a dozen copies of this e-mail to the list, but it never showed up on the list and I received no bounced email either. I'm guessing that somewhere along the way, something decided my email was spam and ate it ;-) > First: > > I noticed that you have used localhost (127.0.0.1) as the address > for your network connections, and as the archives will illustrate > in incredible detail, we generally consider that a Bad Idea (Tm). I had missed that. The only archive of the list that I was aware of until today was yahoo and I find that excruciating to search with. However I saw a post today that pointed me to gmane, searching there is better I believe. > Second: > > Removing the holding disk from the picture actually makes the picture > more murky, not less.
