	How about the 14Mhz hack for the 500 or 2000? There's always someone
asking about that. However, I doubt the effectiveness of such postings. For
example, in c.s.a there is a great explanation about filename extensions and
how to uncompress/extract the files. Yet there is always somebody asking
about this. Don't know what you think, but it seems to me that nobody actually
read these introductory articles.

	Maybe e-mail the people who asked the question? They may not bother
to post, but they may forward some of the replies. This idea should be
encouraged in all groups. Basically, it pisses me off when I e-mail a reply
to an article. As I read on, there are 6 postings on solving the problem. Why
can't they e-mail as well? If others want to know the answer, request from the
original poster the replies they get. There are about 6 well-known (infamous?)
posters who do this, one who will do it until the 'sun' falls from the sky
(pun is intentional, so I hope you know who I mean).
