This always gets me on my high horse. In my opinion there are several good and valid reasons for asking emailed replys, but not being a regural reader is definitely not among them. I've always felt that if one is interested enough to pose a question to a group, and expect answers, one should also have the courtesy to be prepared to follow up the group. ...................................................................

If you ask a question, at least have the decency to wait around for the answer! Keith (on my high horse, too!)

Why can't someone ask a question on a group he or she does not always read? I find that I have time to read this group about once every two weeks. Because of space limitations, articles on this system expire in around two days. In some jobs it may be better that you keep up on other news groups ( :-) you know the Macintrash, Unix and VMS trivia :-)) If you don't want to answer the question don't bother with it, if you feel that the answer would be of use to the net post it (and send the mail).

It is fairly standard practice for the questioner to offer to post a summary of replies which he receives by e-mail. I suggest that if there is enough interest shown then a summary should be posted.
