Actually, from the past emails, I knew that you are one of the most active and willing-to-help person in this list. But you know, for a newbie, a right pointer to the right article as start-learning-point can help them a lot and save them a lot of time.” • (1) “It's been my experience on USENET and other forums where you are making a written (email) request to a group of experts, that it's a good idea to show the work that you have already done to try and solve your problem or answer your question.”
