I get useful information from this list, but I'm often frustrated when I don't
hear of the resolution of some problem or do hear many theoretical, but perhaps
mistaken, solutions for posted problems.  I propose that we follow the model of
another technical support list I subscribe to and which I find extremely
effective:

>   6. Answers to questions are to be mailed back to the questioner and are
>      not to be sent to the entire list. Before responding, please make sure
>      the questioner hasn't already posted a summary. People often respond
>      very quickly to messages posted to the list and it's not unusual for a
>      summary to be posted within an hour of the original question. This is
>      especially important if you only read list messages periodically.
> 
>   7. The person who originally asked the question has the responsibility of
>      summarizing the answers and sending the entire summary back to the
>      list. Consider this the price you pay for the advice you receive. When
>      a summary is sent back to the list, it should contain the word
>      "SUMMARY" as the first word of the "Subject" line. The summary should
>      include a brief description of the original question and a short
>      synopsis of each of the unique responses. Don't just list the
>      respondents or say the problem is fixed, and don't just include a copy
>      of all of the responses.
