	In an attempt to stave off a flood of answers to the "Who played
Edith?" question and to prevent future floods of repetive answers, I
suggest the following:

1)  If you have a factual question which can probably be easily answered by a
number of people, request that they email you the answer.  Volunteer to post
a summary of the answers to the net.

2)  If you know the answer to a factual question, and you know that it has
been previously answered, or is fairly common knowledge, email your answer,
possibly with a request for the questioner to post a summary to the net.

Hopefully, this will reduce repetitive postings.
