Forum people can get help by those, who join the forum, or they could subscribe to the ML themselves and accept the rules there. These rules *are* necessary. Using the forum as a front end to the ML is the wrong way, because that hurts the rules. But who am i to complain? I am just a normal user who wants to benefit from the ML. So i will stop complaining now. :) Hartmut
