Regarding this thread and to nobody in particular: I would like to say a word or two before this gets out of hand.
Our policy on this list is to provide the answers needed no matter how obvious or well posted those answers may be. Emotionally negative responses are discouraged and generally not useful. RTFM type answers should be emotionally neutral, should summarize a quick answer, and should provide a link to TFM. For whatever reason, these kinds of requests are made and these kinds of questions are asked. The folks who make these requests or ask these questions - no matter how obvious - need help. The best thing we can do is provide that help. Keep in mind also that these messages are archived so that they remain searchable on the 'web. This means that any solutions we post here, including references to obvious or well posted answers, serve to make those answers easier to find. Please: Be kind and helpful, or stay away from the send button. I can't remember the number of times something simple and obvious baffled me when I needed it least -- and I'm sure many of us have had similar moments.* A simple answer to an obvious question can go a long way in a positive direction. Please help us keep this forum active, positive, and informative. Thanks, _M -- Pete McNeil Chief Scientist, Arm Research Labs, LLC. * One of the biggest problems with technology is that as people come up the learning curve they tend to forget what it was like when they didn't know the obvious. All too often, once we have come up the learning curve a bit we go on to punish those who are just starting out. Even the best of us leave unintentional barriers by simply not discussing "the obvious". * Those of us who should already know "the obvious" are still subject to moments from time to time when it escapes us -for whatever reason. Think of how much time we could all save if it were easier to escape "those moments." ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <sniffer@sortmonster.com>.
