Again, I'm too busy to go thru countless threads looking for an answer. That's why the group is here....I think.
Says it all, really, you're too busy to bother, what with your "Like most folks on this list, I work, I have a home life and family I have to tend to." and all, in finding out for yourself.
Please read Tom's original post. He did Google and was not converging on an answer, so he turned to this list. As I've pointed out, this particular issue, however common and seemingly straightforward it is, is in fact rather obscure, from the perspective of the pertinent documentation. Thus, I think it was justified for Tom to appeal to the members of this list and that it likewise deserved a straightforward answer from someone in possession of the knowledge he sought. Likewise, I think the observation that an experiment could have forestalled this whole brouhaha is equally valid.
