Boredom is a way of life on this group...answering the same questions 
over and over...but it is a function of the group...but we do expect 
that you will make an effort to look through the archives to see if 
your question has already been answered.  There are over 30,000 posts 
to date and you can search by subject. But if you ask a question to 
group, chances are there are several other newbies that wanted to know 
the same thing.  It is much more useful to ask your questions to the 
group than to burden an individual with answering questions and having 
know one else benefit from them.

Print exchanges, which are frequent on this group are a good way to see
