That depends on your view. Maybe there are people who view you as part of the problem because you keep giving Nikos hope other people will solve his problems without him having to do anything significant himself. > Please keep the snarky comments offlist.

In my opinion the only really helpful thing would be to ignore nikos. He has been given plenty or links, to read through in order to better his understanding and i think it is about time people made it clear they would no longer spoon feed him. Since that is probably not going to happen and you will probably continue contributing to the annoyance of other list members by continuing "helping" nikos, I don'y see why other can't continue to the annoyance in a away that they themselves may find somewhat amusing. -- Antoon Pardon.
