It is inevitable that questions will be asked over and over again. Those who don't understand this or seek to control it, simply do not understand the medium or environment and are wasting their own time and energy. I too am sorry that Erwin P. has chosen to deprive the LUG of his obviously great store of knowledge. However it seems to me that if one is going to assume the role of "grey eminence", then one has to expect to hear the same questions repeatedly. Imagine a senior professor at a college or university who teaches a freshman class every Fall. He suddenly announces his retirement, citing as one reason, that he has become sick and tired of the fact that the freshman class never seems to learn, and that he gets the same questions from them every Fall. The problem, I think, is with the professor and not with the freshman class. Bruce S.
