    Sorry to pick on you, Stefan, but since I've sent a couple of messages
    out today pointing to the correct forum to ask questions, and you
    chose to ignore it. You've also given a clear example of *why* it's a
    bad idea to answer questions here:

    You're wrong. Most people on this list are newbies, so that's not
    overly surprising. There's no shame in being wrong, but this list is
    archived. If you disseminate incorrect information on this list,
    people will find it in the archives and believe it.

    Haixiao got his correct reply on -questions (brief summary: it's not a
    bug, it's a feature).
