Jared,

I *almost* spilled hot Dunkin donuts coffee on  my monitor and
keyboard... Thanks for the laughs ... Messages like these ought to come
with a warning ...=20

I will probably be spending most of my day writing a self-monitoring
program that computes baud rates of its own transmission and corrects
itself by restarting ... Yey !!!

When a post goes unanswered, this is what happens.

* message is re-posted
* that goes unanswered
* poster then asks the list:
  "Hey, why hasn't anyone answered this?"
* poster asks me:
  "Hey, why hasn't anyone answered this?"
* I reply:
*    * maybe no one knows the answer
*    * maybe it's so dead easy no body bothers
* Mladen G. says to RTFM, along with a technical
  explanation  down to the bit level.
* Ian M. takes it further, down to the quantam level.
* Jonathan L. posts a concise, insightful and clear reply
* poster asks for clarification
* Tim G. writes the first chapter of a book on the subject
  and posts it to the list.
* Juan P. points the poster to asktom
* Paul D. explains why the RAID is misconfigured
* Poster asks Tim for all the implementation code
  for the first chapter of the book.
* Kathy D. implies the poster has no social life and
  has much imbibing to catch up on.
* Tim G. writes the second chapter to the book and posts it.
* Poster tries RTFM but is overwhelmed by the
  table of contents.
* Dennis W. does a googles search and posts the answer to
  to the problem 2 minutes after reading the email.
* poster sends resume to Starbucks
* resume returned - DBA's are under-qualified.

That's the general flow, anyway.

Jared
