I wouldn't know how to do that as it is frowned upon in newsgroups. If you
want to post info for others to see then just start a new thread and say
something like here's how I solved this. This way we don't think its a
question and others may read it to see how you solved it. Of course after a
short time it will fall down on the group list as others post, but it will
be at the top for a bit anyways. Just the nature of this extremely busy
group.
