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 ;-).
