That same section says: "My philosophy is that there are two kinds of questions: good questions and unasked questions." Unless I misunderstand the above (which is totally possible), I'd say the original post fell into the latter category. Now if it is of "bon ton" to remind posters that bottom posting is the list policy, why would it be inappropriate to remind posters that there are questions that would be better not asked? It seems to me that it goes both ways. As a side note, that thread was dead already. -- Regards, Thierry @thierrykoblentz www.tjkdesign.com | www.ez-css.org | www.css-101.org ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
