Something else that I think is important to keep in mind - in this and
all other ML's/newsgroups - everything you post is archived for ever
and ever.

People search archives to find out if anyone else has had a
problem similar.  It helps those people (it could even be you!) if you
have a clear, concise, explanatory subject line.  Browsing through
archives and seeing posts with subjects like "A little problem...",
"Noobie needs help...", etc. are generally useless in this regard.

Just a little pet peeve of mine.  Thanks for your time.  8^)
