Just an add-on: I can see where a list whose membership consisted entirely of sysadmins and similar types would work under the rules proposed by the OP. However, the membership here is much more heterogeneous any way you slice it -- experience, knowledge, usage, whatever. I heartily endorse the idea of a Summary response (here it's usually done by adding [SOLVED] to the original subject), particularly when the thread has been a long one. Doing so brings closure to the thread, greatly simplifies searching the archives, and it has the additional benefit of thanking those who contributed to the solution. -- cmg
