At the risk of getting slaughtered (seems to be the mood today) let me say that 
when I ask a question it is generally as part of my search for a solution and 
only one thing I am doing to resolve whatever problem I am facing.

Sometimes I figure the problem out on my own.

Sometimes I get the answer from Google

Sometimes I get the answer from a newsgroup

Sometimes I find the answer from Youtube (normally when other things fail and I 
surf tech videos)

Sometimes, but rarely, the answer makes sense reading the vendor docs.

My time is never worth more than those offering to help me.  I figure if I am 
searching and someone else knows the answer off the top of their beds and FEELS 
like helping then great.   If not then that is OK.   

Since I started doing newsgroup stuff over 25 years ago I cannot recall a 
single time where I figured I could send in a question and then head to the 
gold course knowing you guys would do my job for me.

That said I am chasing a silly RDS problem at the moment and have been 
intimidated enough today with the list attitude to keep to google and not 
bother asking for help.

Thanks to all for your continued service to the community.

Mark
