Yea, there is some good folks on this list.  Everyone tries to help in
different ways.  If one way isn't working, someone posts a alternative
method.  Some, myself included, get upset at software sometimes tho. 
Dare I mention hal??  The -user list has always been friendly.  The -dev
list is much better now but way back, it was like walking in a field of
land mines.  At one point, I unsubbed from -dev because it was more
about people going after each other than accomplishing anything.  Now, I
monitor it again to see what is coming around the next bend.  It's a
MUCH friendlier place now. 

I was referring to Alan McKinnon.  If he even thought he had a solution,
he'd post it.  Most of the time, it was a good option.  The biggest
thing, I'm just glad he is OK.
