I'm fairly new to usenet, but I feel that all answers should be posted rather than emailed to the questioner. The beauty of a bulletin board is to see all the questions and the answers. I don't care if some of the answers don't turn out to be right; at least I can get a few ideas. Many times I see a question that I am interested in with no replies. Now I wonder, did the replies just go to the questioner and I remain in the dark? I enjoy usenet and hope to learn as more answers are posted. Received on Sun Mar 19 1995 - 16:22:44 CET
