Folks,
I threatened to do this a few months ago.... Here's a first draft. Iwas thinking of it as something that might get posted the beginning of the month, or sent to someone who drops in with "it doesn't work!!!".
PLEASE feel free, no, *please* rip, shred, tear, rend this, and helpme make it usable.
I don't quite see the point of posting stuff to try to control what people who don't read before posting will do... But, if you want to make the futile effort, the only thing that matters to me is that the subject line is written carefully to reflect the topic. It is easy enough to ignore off-topic postings as long as the subject identifies them as such. A FAQ on how to answer might be more useful, pointing out that the list is archived in various places and the replies will come up in future searches, thus the replies that tell people to search for themselves instead of including the definitive link to an answer not only are useless to the requester but interfere with everyone's ability to search later.
