That is also the reason why I tend also to answer or summarize even my |
| 7 |
own questions, like in this case. |

A question without an answer is worthless as database. A question with |
| 10 |
an answer, saves many postings in the future, even if it results in |
| 11 |
one additional posting. Before I ask any question I always try to find |
| 12 |
an answer by the search machines first. |

Unfortunately if the question is rather common and stupid, but has few |
| 15 |
specific search words, it is difficult to find a previous answer, even |
| 16 |
if answered a thousand times before. That is thing Florian want's to |
| 17 |
point out. Such a question better goes to IRC. |
