This list is not a strip mine. Replies =should= always be to the list so 
that everyone can be enlightened, and so that discussion, where relevant, 
can ensue. If nothing else, replies to the list are then on record, and if 
Shamash ever fixes their search engine (or I finish moving us to another 
platform), the next person along with that question can find it just by 
searching.

Folks who consider the list their private free consulting group are the 
anti-social folks we want to discourage ;-).
