Thanks for the success story followup! =8^) |

Besides being gratifying to know something that we helped with worked, |
| 15 |
knowing exactly /what/ worked can be most helpful next time someone sees |
| 16 |
the problem, either experiencing it one's self, or helping someone else |
| 17 |
with it, as here. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Besides, with the list available on the web via gmane and the like, |
| 20 |
there's always the chance that someone with the same issue will find this |
| 21 |
discussion months or years later via Google or similar, and the followup |
| 22 |
report of what exactly /did/ work can then be helpful to an entirely / |
| 23 |
new/ generation of users! Never underestimate the possible audience of |
| 24 |
something like this! It could end up being useful to way more people than |
| 25 |
any of the original participants ever considered likely or in some cases, |
| 26 |
even possible. =8^) |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
So certainly, thanks, even if I /am/ hoping that with luck, I'll never |
| 29 |
actually have to use this again myself. =8^) |
