Robert agreed! I fail to understand that "band width issue." Perhaps it was an issue when we ran at 300 bps, but with today's high speed broadband retrieval systems, retrieving an extra msg hardly takes up time. And these discussions tend to generate more msgs than the so-called extra bandwith msgs generated by replies to lists.
Besides, lists are for learning and a question posed by one individual often reflects issues from which many others can learn also. That is one of the reasons I read lists -- not only to solve my own issues from time to time but learn how others deal with things.
