Firstly, this
is, as I am sure you agree, not a list to provide answers
to members questions.
Thank you for the clarification. This will save me a great deal of time in
the future not researching answers to questions.
If this list is meant to be just another wank like alt.folklore.computers,
enjoy the noise.
It took me a while to begin to apply the secret decoder rings to some
of the longest-time posters to a.f.c, like Eugene Miya and Anne&Lynn Wheeler.
They don't actually answer questions with particularly useful answers.
(Where "useful" = "connect pins 1 and 2 on J103"). Still over the
long term they do have something useful to say (I actually believe that
Eugene's answers have gotten more to the point over the past decade,
more than 10 years ago I could NEVER see what he was talking about!)
Like you, I like to see question/answer stuff going on.
It can get dull too when the same questions keep coming up and
nobody actually answers them but goes all philosophical each time :-).
