maybe.


But realize that LS is not for beginners.

Pardon my butting in here, but why ever not??? Who needs the protection LS gives more than beginners??


The developer in my view bends over backwards to help, but LS is a very complex and powerful tool. And some of the questions are, for example, similar to asking Microsoft to tell you what a formula is when you buy Excel. If you don't know, Excel isn't your tool; and in the case of LS, while Karl DOES help and has never complained, in truth it's a power-user's tool.

And I suppose that until I can play the guitar as well as <fill in the name of your nomination for world's greatest guitar player>, I shouldn't bother taking one out of the case?


Excel can be used quite successfully without ever needing to concern one's self with formulae; OTOH, if one does need to know about formulae (or pivot tables, or what it pleases Microsoft to call graphs, or whatever other Excel function comes to mind), one can refer to the manual, which is, in effect, asking Microsoft.

I think Terry's was a perfectly reasonable request. Even those of us who are "power users" (including those of us who spent years at work in groups that deal with supporting networks, e-mail, mailing lists, newsgroups, calendaring, etc.) don't know all there is to know about networking protocols and Unix daemons.

My $.02; YMMV.

Sl�n,



Mo!
