Would it be possible for everyone to try to reply to individuals rather than xpert when their reply would probably not be of general interest? This conference/mailing list generates a lot of messages... It might help if people did not simply reply to the immediate sender. It also might be nice if everyone could indicate whether they are providing information or asking for it... ---------------------------------- Usual disclaimers apply... No offense intended :-) (I "reply" sometimes myself")

Being a relatively novice X programmer, I have many times been enlightened by a response to someone else's question. This group may be called xpert but not everyone who reads it is an xpert. For me, it doesn't take that much time to weed through those articles I'm not personally interested in. Keep those replys coming !!!
