I think that at one point or another, we've all started answering a question
before realizing that it wasn't actually a question, but actually a demand.
For the most part, if anyone takes the time to first do some research, and
still can't find an answer, if they phrase it as a polite question, with as
much supporting information as they can think of, and are willing to give
even more information if asked about it, their answers will tend to be
answered, as generally, all of the people who read the google group and have
the information sought after, are willing to help out, if nothing than to
point people in the right direction. I know I've been helped a lot through
the group, and I've helped others with things they didn't know. It's a kind
of mutual give-and-take here.
In the name of Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of my sanity.
