i ask a question on 4 lists. list a gives me one part of the answer, list b gives me another part. I am happy. on list c a guy does a lot of research and gives me a better solution. I am happier. I integrate all the input and benefit from it. But lists a, b and c all have incomplete answers - so no one benefits except me. Unless i post the final solution on all lists. How does the community grow? This also applies to ppl who post a problem, get the solution from the list, but never report the results. I personally would never reply to a cross post - because i feel that it is a selfish post and antisocial -- regards kg http://www.livejournal.com/users/lawgon tally ho! http://avsap.org.in ಇಂಡ್ಲಿನಕ್ಸ வாழ்க! -- http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
