A: Cross post that question to the Atari and Amiga groups. It's an
interesting and novel question that I am sure they would love to
! investigate in those groups. There is no need to read the groups in
! advance or examine the "frequently asked question" lists to see if the
! topic has already been dealt with. In fact, you don't need to read
! the group at all, and you can tell people that in your query.

A: Cross post that question to the Atari and Amiga groups. It's an
interesting and novel question that I am sure they would love to
! investigate in those groups. In fact, post your question at once,
! to as many technical groups as you can think of, concluding your
! request with the line "Please reply by mail, as I do not follow this
! group." (No one will find such a statement impertinent; remember,
! the net is a resource to help you.)
!
! There is no need to read the groups in advance or examine the
! "frequently asked question" lists to see if the topic has already
! been dealt with. Any such warnings are for people without your
! innate sense of netiquette, and whose uninspired questions are bound
! to be repetitive. Your question is sure to be unique; no point
! checking the list to see if the answer might be there already. How
! could it be, when you only just thought of the question?
