i know that if i do not have usefull information, i do not try to answer. i
wish many times that i did have all the answers, but, if i did, i'd be so
busy, i'd probably not have time to do much else than answer the questions.

I know where Steve is coming from here. I've posted several serious
questions that didn't really get a response. They might have gotten lost in
all of the joking e-mails. But, more likely, I think people just didn't
have an answer. That happens, and I'm fine with it. The emotional lift I
get from reading the humor on this list is just as valuable as any practical
information would be - maybe more so.
