Enough of the Messenger pop-up posts please

[Dan Corban]

Ok, enough is enough. There are DOZENS of these threads in the past couple
weeks. Each receiving almost the same (and correct) solution to the problem.

I just double-checked and, yes, there IS a search button on the Microsoft
web-based news reader. There is also an easily accessible one in Outlook
Express (along with any other decent newsreader).

Please, have mercy on us folks who are trying to help people with issues
that haven't been posted (and provided many solutions to) dozens of times in
recent weeks. Take a few moments before you create a new post and use the
search button.

A FAQ for this newsgroup would be a great idea. Jonathan, do you have
anything like that? I'd be more than happy to help answering any questions,
but it seems you would know best which questions are frequently asked.

Hey John,

Unfortunately it's not that simple -- mainly because of some other initiatives going on with
updating the community sites.
