Can you see Jenda the people who participated were mostly those having
knowledge of 2  topics(spcly 1& 2) i.e. more than 1 ( hence usefull ) & less
than 3 ( hence no harm )  . It was although different , but part of the only
1 problem I was facing (might be many have faced that & could suggest me a
soln that bypasses both the problems ).

If a mail comes to me whose contents I could hardly understand even 5% I
wouldn't respond , but if I know about 33% I 'll respond for those 1/3 & try
to give idea about the remaining as it happens here in case of txt to html
quesn .
I  responded like that just because he irritated by asking same question 3
times
that was an oversmartness (he was asking same question 3 times in one mail ,
I have asked at least 3 different questions) .
 The way you answered is very much logical & it's
just a matter of perception , you may be right here .

But to be honest I have always received most responses this way  rather then
1 question at a time ( which many a times go unaswered -spcly as less people
know about WMI etc) .

I can understand the complexity :)) .
sometimes things gets exaggerated by chance or by mistake not intentionally

Although I haven't asked for that exclusively , but that was quite
understood , people
HAVE answered that only (Net::FTP) & no existing tool - you see.

I don't have a good idea about that - can you give some pointers for this ?
