I started out agreeing with issue, but it seems to me the problem
I have with this newsgroup is not the frquency of the simple questions,
but the onslaught of answers to them, especially when over half of them
are either wrong or just grabbed out of the air and thrown onto the
net for all to see.  A moderator could help in this, by posing the
questions to a few gurus and mailing the reply to the person who requested
the information.  The discussion going on about circle enclosing a set
of points, hightens this.  Everyone (including me) is throwing out thier
guesses to the solution without much founded theory or research.  Granted
however this question is by no means a simple one.  The discussion is kind
of interesting however in that ideas are thrown out you say ok and then
some diligent person gives a counter example and the cycle repeats.
