Not to stoke the fire, but why would Mahmoud think he would need to read the FAQ page?� The question he had is hardly "frequently asked".� I suggest putting these "rules" either on the same page as the instructions to subscribe to the list (so people would be more likely to glance over them before subscribing) or on a separate page titled something like "Statalist Usage Guidelines".�

I rather think this says it all, and precisely reinforces what Nick
patiently explained to you.
You say you didn't have the time to read the Statalist FAQ before
posting. Why, then, do you expect others to spare their time answering
your queries?
No reply expected or required. :)
