Uh this isn't in reference to a remark I made a couple days back about
"asking questions until they twitch" is it? Definitely wasn't meant to
slam Byron's contributions (on which I read every word) if it was. Do
I need to begging, groveling, apologetic bit or can I be smug and go
tsk tsk tsk ? ;-]

Just to add my two cents here, this is one of the best lists I have seen for
simply helping out people even if the question is pretty much the same as
the one just asked the week before. That takes a large amount of patience
to repeat or explain something over and over instead of just giving in and
telling
someone to RTFM.
