> Doesn't anyone read the archives?
Not me, if I can avoid it.
This comes up on a regular basis.
If I had time to read archives, maybe I wouldn't need this list. When you are on the list a long time, you see the same questions over and over, and yes, they are in the archive.
Personally, I'd rather take 2 minutes of my time and answer someone's question than sick the archives on them, they may do the same for me someday, as MANY on this list have.
Besides, new stuff is discovered, new ways to solve an old problem, new releases of software that should be installed ... all items that you be behind the 8-ball on if you relied upon the archives for lots of stuff. If the archived item is from last week, it is only 7 Intel processors and 14 Microsoft service packs behind :)
Subject lines are a wonderful thing, if you're tired of the subject, hit DELETE.
Have a great day, Jale
