Sam, thanks for your "Kind Words". I was not aware of any set standard when replying to this discussion when reviewing postings dating back to October last year. Thanks for the advice - Now that I have that said.Your advice in response to my question confirmed my initial thoughts however I only wanted clarification. Why you didn't just reply with your last 3 lines above in the first place?
Because then you wouldn't be aware that your posting habits might discourage others from helping you.
If Linux is to ever manifest to the expectations the community desires, it most certainly will come from cooperation, tolerance and education of all concerned. Did you have a bad day?
Try a bad decade, instead. This has been talked to death for many years. Yet, people continue to barge in, and irritate everyone else, because they have not taken the time to familiarize and orient themselves. Just because your mail client's default settings are broken doesn't mean that everyone else have to tolerate it.
There used to be a very useful bit of advice given to newbies almost in nearly every introductory FAQ that they might stumble across: lurk before you post. Don't post until you've read the mailing list or a Usenet group for some time, and are familiar with the basic concepts.
