I'LL SECOND TO THIS.  If someone is not interested enough in his/her
own question to read and fowllow-up the group, why should we really
oblige.  It is a denigrating attitude.  Of course there are
instances where replying by E-mail is warranted, but NOT because the
sender of the question doesn't even want to bother reading the
group.  I must admit that this has annoyed me on several occasions,
and should not be considred directed against this sender, or this
group, in particular.  - Ok, I'll say no more, since this is
comp.lang.pascal, not alt.flame.
