Actually, I have been on this list for about 4 or 5 years now.  I mostly
lurk.  Until a network/systems question comes up.  Then I add my
educated input.

I *DO* take it seriously when someone makes assumptions about me or
something I have said based on little or no information.  That is
exactly what John C and Rocky did.  Because I have a "humorous" mail
domain I must be an idiot.  And because my document is 100 pages with
screen shots it must be too difficult to understand.  80% of the pages
of my document have screen shots.  Of that 80% about 80% of those have
five or less lines of text.  Of the remaining 20% about 5% of those
have a second screen shot on the page.  In other words, without the
table of contents, cover pages, revision pages, and screen shots, my
document is less than 30 pages.  As a reference, your average stereo
assembly instructions are between 5 and 50 pages depending on the
complexity of the equipment involved.  Your average VCR manual is 60+
pages.  Yout average cell phone manual is also 60+ pages.

Judging people, and things, without having all of the facts is one of my
pet peeves.
