Re: Randall, please don't post here

Lars,

I have no intention of catering to your delicate sensibilities. 
Participants in these lists are expected to do their homework, and that 
includes searching the list archives before posting questions.

Innuendo about inadequate documentation, such as you posted, is far more 
inappropriate than the slightly harsh tone I took with you.

One aspect of promoting this software, which I agree is impressive and 
immensely valuable, is suppressing redundancy on the mailing lists so 
information is more accessible to newcomers.

I think you need to reconsider your own expectations rather than try to 
impose them on others.
