Great one Tony,
Thank God that someone else thinks some (not all) people on this list are real
Jerks, would like to use stronger language but am trying to be polite.
A lot of the experts read the title and glance at the request, and then set
about running the person that asked into the ground by making un called for
remarks about why the question asked, when they think all the answers are in the
archives etc., without finding out what the question was really about.
Also many of the answers in the archives often don't answer what the searcher
was after (such as your query) and further answers are needed, which take many
hours rather than seconds to find, if at all.
One of the main reasons that I stay away from lists to do with qmail is because
of the attitude of a lot of these type of people, which if they don't want to
help, they would be best not to answer at all.
Regards
Roger
