I agree.... But we can put it in a FAQ can't we??

That's what I have been doing for some time now.
I am simply asking for people who ask for help to give a bit more info as far as they know it and can point them to a tool to help out if they don't know.

I don't think I am going to get it with one post and that is not my intention. I am trying to get people to insert at least the basics so that the helpers have a start point. Bear in mind that questions scroll off here and will never be answered. There is a better chance of the question being answered if more info is included in the first place.

Feel free to look at the FAQs. :-)

161186 2003-07-19 12:25:00 I asked Mum two minutes after I was born...

Mum, "Why is my belly button in my head?"

I *still* don't have an answer after multiple postings since.

161187 2003-07-19 12:27:00 Do you know Beet,I do believe that was the conclusion of us all,well done.
Rest assured Sand I was not referring to you.

161188 2003-07-19 12:30:00 And you are posting from a PDA using OUTLOOK???

I don't think so!!!

Don't think that's a slag either.

You are very revered and good on this forum. I have never had an issue with anything you have posted.

Good one!!!

It predisposes you to navel gazing.....a necessary attribute for posting helpful replies here.

To such an extent I have bought myself a prayer mat and prostrate myself b4 reading so that I may feel replenished;)
