OK, I was attempting to keep this at an adult level. I didn't realize that
you did not wish to do so.

I've seen requests like this on various mailing lists with much higher
traffic all the time. You know, I've been here a while, and if I see a
request for help from Gene Heskett asking for a reply via CC because his
server is down, I'm darn well going to answer it. Furthermore, I'm sure
he'd do the same for me. A technical list whose subject matter will
necessarily involved crippled servers from time to time is far different
from, say, a threaded discussion of Britney Spears.

Why on Earth would you assume this is for my benefit? I'm *ON* this list.
Unless something catastrophic happens, I have no problems asking for or
getting help via this mailing list. Is it unimaginable that I may want to
leave an avenue of emergency help for others?

Sorry, Scott, but you seem to have posted without knowing what you're
talking about it.

Thanks.
