Yup, and I came close to not sending it. But... I'm wasting my breath in 
the vain hope that someone might actually read it BEFORE griping.

Although I suppose that's a bit silly, too, because the people that do, 
read the announcement and either fixed the problem without ever 
bothering the list, or just chimed in on one of the ongoing threads. :-)

That being the case, it wasn't so much yelling at the OP... although I 
have to admit I don't have all that much sympathy for people that fail 
both to follow simple directions AND use common sense before posting. Sigh.

Oh, and in case you didn't notice, I'm also shamelessly plugging RTFRN 
and STFLA. ;-)

Ooh, the pain... ;-)
