This exchange and the last comment is one of the poorest excuses for 
relevance I have seen. An answer with NO reference is useless, and should 
be sent (if at all) only to the person that it is directed to, who might 
understand it.
There has been a lot of comment about sending answers to the "asker" or to 
the list, but the exchange below should be labelled "Burn before reading."
