	I don't know about everyone else but this type of response to
	a request seems to me to be unwarrented.  In my view, this kind
	of request is one of the major purposes of this news group
	considering the newness of the product.  I really hate to see
	anything that will cause people to hesitate to ask 'dumb'
	questions or worse yet answer them.  If the above was meant with
	'tongue in cheek' then I apolagize but maybe it should be a little
	more obvious.

	Now, down off the soapbox.  Please, everyone, ask all the dumb
	questions that come to mind.  I personally have learned a lot
	from these questions and the responses.  Let's keep this 
	information exchange working.
