Agreed. There was a page with the top 10 FAQ questions on the website that i seem to have lost now.

But if you are sugesting ignoring newbie posts I disagree. It will just up the workload on others answering questions and make the issues less shallow (many eyes make all bugs shallow/questions simple) -- Michael All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well - Julian of Norwich 1342 - 1416 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
