True, yet a passive aggressive announcement that demands an active Google, Altivista, Ask Jeeves, LookSmart, Lycos, Webcrawler, Excite, Yahoo, AOL, MSN, AlltheWeb, HotBot, Teoma, WiseNut, Gigablast, go.com.... search is rude. If you understand the purpose of the topic enough to post an invitation then you also know enough for a one line context and description. So explain no, inform and invite yes. We quibble about subject lines, problem descriptions, top .vs. bottom posting, and thread use why not this ;-) On the positive side a Google search minimizes the risk associated with a bogus posting, bogus list or bogus URL designed to harvest email addresses, web history, IP addresses or something less than kind. > I don't think anyone is asking for an explanation of SELinux.
