Just a note, not directed at this poster in particular.

I'm a little tired of seeing message traffic on issues best resolved by 
carefully reading the documentation instead of heavily relying on other 
people who have already paid the price of learning how things work.  
Especially when the message begins with "Dear Friends" just like a 419 
Nigerian fraud proposal.  The poster of this message may be a wonderful 
person of unquestionable character, but that doesn't automatically make 
him a "friend".

What ever happened to learning how to debug problems by reading the 
relevant RFCs and trying solutions yourself?

No one helped me work through problems, and I learned more than I ever 
would have if I posted questions about every roadblock I encountered 
along the way.  I guess there is a wide gap between understanding 
technology you use and using technology you don't try to understand.

No offense intended.
