I can understand growing tired of rehashing the same topics. However the biggest majority of subscribers are fairly new users or have a limited technical knowledge of how their Mac works. To them, their questions are new and it's a first time issue they're dealing with. I'm on the Duo/2400 list, have been for a couple years. There's nothing new to discuss there, just help folks who are new to the Duo. I'm burned out on explaining the same thing over and over so I sit back and read while the others explain. When someone doesn't present an explanation, I try to chime in. Otherwise I keep my yap shut. So I do understand where you're coming from but "you catch more flies with honey" (ie. converts to pro-Mac companies). Also, I do appreciate your expertise and realize that you've provided a lot of beneficial contributions. Thanks you for that. -makmac -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
