- I'm probably getting in on this pretty late, but... I really
- apprciate when Tanmoy Bhattacharya and Dan Pop answer questions.
- Then seem to be able to explain things quite well. Maybe these
- gurus mentioned above we equally competent, but the important thing
- for me is that Tanmoy and Dan are still here, why would anyone want
- complain about the advice they give.
-
- A little self discipline never hurt anyone, if you are not sure
- if your post is appropriate read the group for a while, (or
- horrors, read the FAQ)...it actually works. I look at posting
- in any newsgroup sort of like joining in a conversation at a party,
- you don't just barge in you listen and then if you have something
- worth while you join in... Thanks to Tanmoy and Dan and the person
- who helped me with a very simple (yes it was in the FAQ) problem
- and kindly explained the context as well....now I'll go mingle
- somewhere else.....
