1,2,6, months ago.
Whyinhell doesn't he just repeat it if he knows the answer? Or better, just
don't bother to answer at all and let someone with a kinder disposition take the
cue?
Your response below is a more sensible approach also.
BTW, has anybody looked at Mike's welome to the list letter that gets sent to
new subscribers lately? It used to be a pretty good FAQ in itself.
