I'm terribly sorry if I annoy somebody here on the list with all my stupid q'ns.

Apologies are nice, but comprehension would be better. There is a separate mailing list (zope@zope.org) for questions and answers about USING Zope. This list (zope-dev@zope.org) is supposed to be for discussing DEVELOPING Zope, i.e., writing and debugging new versions of Zope itself and associated modules. With rare exceptions (like when a newbie stumbles on a serious bug) you should only post here if you already understand how to USE Zope, and you want to help code Zope internals.

There are no stupid Zope questions, but there are wrong addresses for posting them.

At the moment the topic of this list isn't that focused, and this is not necessarily wrong. Currently, this list discusses Zope internals developement, and the development of Zope products. So, Tom was never off topic. [RH]Moreover, Tom asked his original question about 15 times on other lists and only on this list his cry for help was answered. Small wonder then that he thinks this one is his best bet ;-) Rik
