Most of my questions hve been computer related, to an appropriate
group. I will say thank you because it lets people know that I Have
the solution. I also make sure that I state what worked because it
could be helpful to somebody later. In one case, I had the same
problem a couple years later, found my old question and answer, and
was able to use it again. When I have a question, I do search first as
I will often find that somebody else has already asked the question,
and one of the answers may work for me.
