Actually, if people check their mail pretty often, then 10 e-mails suggesting the same answer don't usually happen. And with answers out in the public, people don't have to answer if you've been answered already. With an off-list reply policy, people aren't sure if you've been replied to - so you can get lots of messages that are basically the same, or no messages at all. <impish grin> Something to think about, you think? Frequently asked questions, however, are due to people not searching the archives well enough. Often forgivable - sometimes you just don't know what you're supposed to look for! - and thankfully quite rare on the plug list, it seems. After all, that's what ph-linux-newbie's for. <shrug> Yes, I know, this is an old thread, but I just got to this mailbox now. =) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Sacha Chua <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 3 BS CS Ateneo geek =) Ateneo Cervini-Eliazo Networks (ACENT) tel: 63(2) 426-6001 loc 5925 _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
