My  recommendation  will be  to  pause  and  consider the  psychology  of
technical people.  Technical people have  an unfortunate tendency  to get
upset when  the same person  asks the same question  more than once  in a
*lifetime*. The  same technical  people who  will completely  forget that
you've been sending them mail for  the past 3 days asking about something
will remember that 2 years ago you  asked the very same question and they
gave you a  detailed answer. They'll remember that they  bet a pizza that
you'd ask again within X months and will start arguing about the value of
X to determine  who owes how many  pizzas to whom. Needless  to say, your
only chance  of getting a second  answer is to  buy them all a  pizza and
swear  it  will never  happen  again.  Checking  the  logs is  much  more
convenient :-)
