Peter <fbsdq@yahoo.com> types: > Also sometimes you reply, and then to your reply you get like > 20 people saying oops...you fscked up, here is a better way to do it, I've noticed that people seem a lot more likely to correct an incorrect answer than answer a question, even though they provide the same information. Which is why I sometimes provide an answer even when I'm not positive it'll work - it may prompt someone to provide the correct answer. In such cases, I always ask the person with the problem to post the results as well. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
