A tiny suggestion. It would help many new people here, if we can have a para or
two about these type of things in our Wiki (may already be there?), but more
imporatantly show that link in this type of guideline replies, as in [please read this
url]. A couple of weeks ago when I was starting to use this group, I saw one
liners like [stop top posting] [stop thread hijacking], I had no idea what that
meant, and I was reluctant to ask about them because the traffic here was
already quite high, imo. I send and recive from my mailer, and seldom look at the
group msgs on a web viewer.
Cordially, Chacko
