Yep, seems reasonable -- there is that '=' char I wondered about. ;)

*blush*  Thanks Celsun. :-)

But basically I cannot confirm your experience with mailing lists. Being
on quite a couple of mailing lists for years, my experiences are rather
good.

People (willingly subscribed to those lists) are often helpful and
informative -- as long as they know the answer and the asker follows
some basic netiquette rules (being polite and giving detailed info about
the issue).

I hope, your experiences with mailing lists (the community in general)
will be better.

Oh, dang -- I am not quite sure any more. IIRC I plainly disliked some
additional error messages being printed and the fact, that I had to get
it into the background myself...

This are not really "disadvantages", for the very most some minor
annoyances. Nothing to worry about.

Glad I could help. And as you learned, you are prepared better to solve
your issues on your own (a lotta more fun ;) or even to answer questions
by others...

(OT: As I stated in a lecture some weeks ago: This is one great fact
about the communities: sharing and spreading knowledge to grow and get
better.)
