- Just a gentle observation:
-
- Then don't. That's kind of like going back to a polluted well over
- and over thinking that someday it might become unpolluted. Is every
- article that has IIsi in the title relevent to your situation? After
- so many times of doing something and not getting the results I want, I
- stop doing it. So kill the thread and read the next article about
- IIsi's. There's so much info going through this net that if you kill
- one thread there will be soon several more with info that you find
- useful. And to speed up the process, you can start threads yourself
- with specific questions.
