I think this is the most important point. Given that highly skilled
people on this list give their time freely to help others, I reckon it's
simple good manners not to make them spend an inordinate amount of time
trying to figure out what it is you're asking.
If the Tom Lanes of this world were paid commercial rates for all the
free help they've given on this lists, I wonder how much they'd have
made by now? :-)
