As a newbee I must say:
- it is importante the correct subject line so I can read and learn
faster
- the subject line it's also important for a correct archive
- The thanks answer could be useful so we can learn with that suggestion
I think all questions are wellcome (from newbees and experts)
But answers must be really usefull.
Don't feed questions without a purpose.
Best Regards
