Quite a few of these questions were posted to this and other newsgroups. For the most part, the responses ranged from nothing at all to getting RTFM'ed to death. The one person that I felt took the time to help me out, answer my questions, make me feel at home, etc. was Prof. Salmi. He has obviously spent a lot of time formulating his answers and working to be well-informed in a non-verbose fashion. I would think that any attacks against an individual in this group should be moved to alt.flames where it belongs anyway. To paraphrase: "If you are perfect, then you can throw the first stone..."
