I didn't even *see* your questions -- perhaps you committed the cardinal sin 
of posting in HTML, which I find so irritating that I have configured my mail 
client to delete it unseen.

I am no expert, but I have been administering UNIX boxes for about fifteen 
years now, so I'm not a novice either.  If I see questions on any mailing 
list to which I subscribe, I will *always* answer, if I feel I have anything 
to contribute.  If you post in plain text, which you *always* should on 
mailing lists, and I am able to answer you questions, I definitely will not 
ignore you -- if I don't answer, it's simply because I don't know.

Regards,
Keith.
