Peter and I, wearing our assistant-sub-co-list-moderator hats, are just discussing this very issue. In view of the fact that this very conversation has happened on a number of occasions both on the list and off it without a "happy medium" being the outcome, we are likely to provide a suitably middle-of-the-road paragraph for the Wiki ourselves. We are, after all, often the people who end up arbitrating these issues when feelings get hurt! To answer Marc's meta-question: > "do 'many' members of the exim list refuse to answer questions with > obfuscated details?" Given a list membership of 1959, we can with reasonable accuracy say that the answer is "no"; If it was above 1% on a regular basis I would be very surprised. "Some", "several" or "a few" would be rather more accurate.
