Yup. Which is why the email is *archived* so that questions that are in
fact repeatedly asked can be
searched in the archives. Most of the answers are there.

And perhaps they do have real jobs and real lives and thus don't have
the *time* to answer
questions that are repeatedly asked can be that can be searched in the
archives. Remember; 
the guys that do have the answers have done the legwork. How? By
searching the archives, or Google. Why should they do your legwork or
anyone elses? 

Bottom line is: Noone has time to search the archives, or do any other
research for that matter. I don't. I do however make the time, I do the
research. Most of the time, I do find my answer. This is in fact how I
learned to use a computer, period. Running a cobalt is no different.
