John;
I realize the scope of this newsgroup has spread.
I was only posting because it seemed to me you thought as so many others
that this was a "help and support" newsgroup instead of support for "Help
and Support".
Many questions asked here would get better and quicker answers in the
correct newsgroup.
As well the correct posts for this newsgroup would be better served without
all the off topic posts.
But since many do not realize the difference, I as well as others largely
ignore that unless it seems someone thinks this is a "help and support"
newsgroup.
