Don't you think I could have simply solved the problem by asking a 
Linux wizard about it?
What you don't get is that, when we are discussing the problem, we are 
providing solutions also, and these things get archived...
Next time a newbie or somebody else wants a solution to a similar 
problem, he need not post it again, he will as is the practise first 
check out the archives...
In that case, what do you think, sending personal mails would help in 
any way to the rest of the Listas?

A bandwidth hog??
which era are you living in where a few kb of data is gonna hog the 
whole bandwidth?
Especially data which can prove usefull to someone else other than you?

If you are being so selfish, why don't you simply ignore the mails or 
go off list?

Warm Regards,

~Mayuresh
