Surely, you don't expect people to download the archive files and grep them?<br>
Nor, I hope, do you expect someone to open each month's archive to see if<br>
any of the threads or subjects match the question?<br>

It surprises me, although it shouldn't, the number of people who ask the<br>
same question that's been asked and answered numerous times and is in the<br>
group archives, but then it's easier to be lazy and ask it again than do<br>
your own research and look to see if someone in the past has had the same<br>
question answered.<br>
