Ancol, my sugestion is, that first msg would also contain say, 20 or so most frequently asked questions from new visitors of this thread. Because, these questions will keep pop up every so often.
I'm not lazy. I did something similar. Look at msg#4 in this thread:
"Phoenix - FAQ, Stable, User support -Read Post #1"
(btw, if you are interested in EA's, watch this one, project is well organized and looks like there will be some nice results... )
Since I know more about Phoenix than someone new to that thread I decided to gather information from past msgs and post them where are easy accesible for new to that thread. So, to help out new to Phoenix system, I actually went back and I've reread all msgs again, so I could post in FAQ reference, where, in which msg is answer to some particular question.
So, I'm not lazzy if I asked for some help/info here, after I have read few 100 msgs already. probably i was reading them in to big of a hurry, since ther are so many thousands waiting on me to be read...
Most of us have job, family, duties and if you are new to whole TSD community, then there are waiting to be read over 7,000 msg for CatFX, over thousand for Phoenix, over thousand for Dolly... MM... and there are more. You need few months for all this... (actually way more or you will be facing the divorce lol lol)
And btw, I'm going to read them all, but in the meantime I wish to start using some systems. Man, I'm also addicted, I can't wait few months lol
So why we wouldn't try to help each other out? And that way, thread will have less repeated questions over and over again. Everyones win.
So, Ancol, if you agree, then above is sample of questions one new to this system will have even if he is going to read last few hundred msgs.
