There's a saying "There are no stupid questions except the ones you
don't ask". More than a little truth in that.

as Mark Haney, the latin man,
treated Karl. Great culture and little education.

I delete many messages unread, don't know who those people are
or what you're talking about.

Mark, I recommend you to
read "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie.

May I recommend you read Eric Raymond's "How to Ask Questions the
Smart Way"? One location: www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

That link does not work for me, but I'm in China. I'd be interested in
knowing whether it works for others.
