I agree on the search for the archives. Then again, we also have
http://plug-faq.q-linux.com/ so if people find that the same question pops
up again, pls. refer them to the faq and if it is not there and pls add it.
This way everyone is helping everyone else.  the FAQ system is suppose to
filter out the "noise" produced in the mailing lists too. =) added to that,
it answers the most common and important questions. =)  Our faq system has a
search feature too.  If we all help build it then we will have a better
resource to look at next time we need it coz it can answer our questions
directly.
