Well, excuuuuuuuse us! We'll try to monitor the net so we can jump on your
questions quickly in the future (Or did I take your response wrong?)

The admonition to check the manuals (RTM or RTFM) plays along the same lines
as "If a man is hungry, is it better to give him a fish, or teach him how to
fish?"

The net *is* a great place for fast answers, but your response that you don't
need "adequate" documentation, but rather "fast answers" because you have "a
lot of work to perform" is rather condescending.  Don't you think we all have
work to perform too??

I apologize publicly if I misinterpreted your response, but it didn't have
a :-) by it...
