[NTLUG:Discuss] .tar [Rookie question]

[bobby@wrennest.com]

I don't want to start a war here. I want to be instructive/helpful. But
since this answer is such a perfect example of what I have been trying
to communicate I will hope to help even if it gets me kicked off the
list.

./aal's answer is completely accurate and totally useless to someone who
doesn't know about all the other possibilities. If just reading the docs
(assuming you know where to find them) was all that is needed, why do we
have this list? Why not just note in the reply to list subscription that
you souldn't ask questions just RTM. My Father always told me "There are
no stupid questions. But, sometimes there are stupid answers."

Peace
Bobby
