(If you're a developer you probably know this from posting about programming problem X in a newsgroup -- when preparing your question really precisely and trying to add all relevant links and test cases and stuff, you sometimes stumble upon the solution yourself.) Though I wonder if this approach is more successful than the free-style comments service like Yahoo Answers, which allows people to be more verbose than Yes vs No and also includes crowd intelligence via ratings.<BR/><BR/>PS: <A HREF="http://niniane.blogspot.com/2008/02/more-stats-on-world.html" REL="nofollow">I can see a common theme here...</A>Philipp Lenssenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09340991515644165702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6230750.post-8144187251347916502008-05-15T09:34:00.000-07:002008-05-15T09:34:00.000-07:00Good idea.Good idea.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18223477475853940809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6230750.post-57255860002399484272008-05-15T09:16:00.000-07:002008-05-15T09:16:00.000-07:00Let's just get it out of the way now: John K.
