- The problem is that Usenet is not a computer. It is a bunch of
- people communicating through computers. You are using us as your
- "reference tools". Most of us are willing to look up hard-to-find data
- when we know where it is and think it possible that few others do
- (that's what makes Usenet work), but when you ask for readily available
- information, you should consider yourself lucky if you get that
- information along with a mild rebuttal. We're not your personal
- librarians.
