Dear Renaid, Like anyone else, I have days when I am tired, and days when I am energized. My goal in being here is to be helpful. It is also more fun to be challenged in a nice way. I don't mean confronted, but rather asked a new question or a question about something different. And, yes, it is less than stimulating to answer the same question over and over. However, as I have written many times, any question for which you need an answer is a valid question to ask. But it's equally true that, many times, questions that occur to one may have been asked and answered before—and those dialogues may still be here. I walk a thin line between repeating myself many times cheerfully, and advising self-reliance and at least a token search about topics that may not be exactly unique. It is never my intent to sound cross or impatient—but it has been my experience that any advice to "check the archive" may be taken as a "short" and unhelpful answer. I sometimes fail to be nice even while I am trying to be nice (and helpful). I hope you will continue to participate, and to get to know us.
