So I withdraw the part of my suggested guidelines that said "make a list of gurus and mail them your question first," even though this isn't too far from what Spaf suggests in n.a.nu [-nanu?]. I apologize for including anything other than the patently unarguable in that posting, cause it was intended to be legitimately useful for newbies. I may post it again in a few weeks minus the offending clause. -- Tom Neff UUCP: ...!uunet!bfmny0!tneff "Truisms aren't everything." Internet: tneff@bfmny0.UU.NET
