That's a bit of a "should", isn't it Thierry? And it's a bit of "my way
or the highway". Everyone here volunteers, most in their own personal
ways. No one "should" do it as you would, with the exception of not top
posting. Oh yeah, and not trimming. Besides those two "shoulds", it's up
to a person to answer as they please. Unless, of course, you wish to
volunteer to do all of the answering, in order to maintain your sense of
order and decency. 

Myself, I think it's perfectly acceptable to send someone to google
search, for starts. It's far better than forwarding the Internet to
their gmail account. <grins> <waves peace sign> Ric
