As I implied in my Method 3 above, I think referring someone to the proper manual is a good compromise with providing the answer for them (that would have been obvious if the poster had made a good faith attempt to find out the answer themselves) and simply saying RTFM (or something similar). If you find Method 3 not appropriate to your personality, then don't use it. Received on Mon Jul 04 2005 - 18:05:44 CDT
