FWIW, I've known lots of people who have saved some of their common answers, so they can just cut and paste.

But I think there is lots of value in having several (or even many) different people answer the same question. I know that when I first learned FoxBase (nearly 20 years ago!), the variety of answers on the old FoxForum taught me a lot. After a while, there were questions I could answer, even though I'd never done the particular thing.

Right. And having multiple people answer is kind of like getting multiple opinions from doctors.
