Yes. We all understand that.

He pointed to the *specific part* of the FAQ that answered the question.

Yes. We all understand that.

It was not clear from your posts that you understood that.

And, yes, all also understand that that is the part that would be a
little tricky about implementing the auto-responder. Save that for
Version 2.0.

In the meantime, an auto-responder that simply greets every new thread
(by a newbie - the program would keep a list of people to exclude from
treatment) with "The answer is in the FAQ. Please see the FAQ at: <URL>"
would be very nice and save certain people (e.g., Bwian) from having to
do it manually.


But not every new thread by new comers has an answer in the FAQ.

BTW I noticed that you only responded to RH complaining about his
post. You never bothered to answer the OP. Maybe next time you will
lead by example rather than complain?
