Michael,

Thanks a bunch for your work on this.  Just the other day, I was wondering
whether you get paid for this, and thought, "Well, of course he's paid.
It's way too much work to do unpaid."  Now that I know the truth, I don't
know what to say...hats off.  Thank you so much for a resource which has
helped me immeasurably.

Also, I didn't see the particular message that broke the camel's back, but
it occurred to me that it might have been my message to Kris Pilles this
morning:

I really hope this didn't come across as "Geez, check the archive already".
On the contrary, I wrote it in earnest, especially since Kris' message
stated a need for the answer due to losing mail.  I thought Kris might not
know about the archives which (whether or not they are done) truly are a
fantastic resource.

I may be worrying for nothing, but just in case: If my message came across
as nasty or anything, I sincerely apologize to Kris and the list for that
unintended result.

Matthieu

First I want to be a parent here. I hate doing so but sometimes its needed. 
If someone asks a question on the list and another person thinks it to
simple, that other person has 3 choices; either answer it, point the
questioner to the place where the answer is or not post at all. People
should not be afraid to post their questions because they feel that someone
will flame them or their question will be silly or simple. This is a list
for all. 
If the behavior of flaming simple, common or any other question continues,
I'm going to be forced to assign homework to the flamer. 
"If your so good at this that you can bash someone else for asking the
question, then you have to write up a short FAQ to answer the question". I
think that if enough of these FAQs are written then maybe it'll cut down on
what some feel are easy or silly questions. I can't do this alone until
someone decides to pay me for hosting the lists and community work. I barely
have enough time as is. (Yes, this is a hint to Macromedia)
