Umm, and what does Google stand for?  Anyone?  It _surely_ isn't a 
search engine, right?

Sorry, really couldn't help it.  People often enough (including myself) 
ask on lists for info that could be dug up in the Handbook or some list 
searching, but asking after obviously not even bothering to even attempt 
to do any 'homework' on Google (or other search engine) can quickly take 
a very useful mailing list and turn it into a waste of space....even 
moreso when 'abused' (IMHO of course) by several more followups, any one 
of which could have been found in less time than it took to get a 
response from the (overly gracious) list....
