I appreciate where Piotr is coming from but that kind of message could be taken as not helpful but whilst I don't mind what is said since I asked the questions as I have done on a number of occasions, not everyone has the time to read lists on all topics as I for one have a full time job and for me as I'm a member of this list and have been since 2010 it is for me nice that I can ask my IOS questions on this list as I don't have the time to subscribe to lists and lists.
