Sorry. I can't give out people's e-mail addresses.
First I make an effort to blot them from the portions of messages
that I quote for my column. Second I don't know it. I might
have it in my archives somewhere --- but really! Wouldn't it be
better to share the problem (and any answers) with the rest of us?

I also have a script which now does further stripping when I transform the
header.

Normal people deserve normal privacy, and are granted it in this column.
Even extraordinary people deserve privacy, when the opportunity allows.
So if it's not important to the question, you won't be told if the querent
is a plain Joe, or a confused CIO.

<BLOCKQUOTE>
Now, when someone is talking about their own product and how it compares or
fits in with a previous question, it's an important part of the answer that
they are authoritative on the subject.

The answers from others that have chosen to do so, I endeavor to mark with
the Answer Bubble instead of the Question Bubble in the table of contents
for a given month. Betcha wondered what that was about. A big round of
applause for 'em!

Also, don't be afraid to use the Linux Gazette Search Engine - sometimes, the
Two Cent Tips column has also got some very useful answers - and to look
for new sources of documentation to things. Sometimes someone with the answer
out there in the great webbed world, either doesn't have time to let us know
or perhaps doesn't live in the circles of friends that know about The Answer
Guy, but did bother to throw it onto his website... the one the search bots
only found two days after the Answer Guy hit "send" on his reply.
