I would like you to draw up some examples of what should be concidered transgressions and what should be concidered allowed. How could you know that NW in year 2000 should be able to read emails delivered as files in the Finder when you opened your list back in internet stoneage? Yet, that's what has happened. If this is supposed to be the kind of list you say, your ban on discussing this issue here makes my wonder what you concider on topic. > >Since I can't see the logic here, you better give some examples or work your house tidying idea better out.

So perhaps it would be good -for that reason- to make another list. I think the example is quite obvious: If it relates directly to using NisusWriter, it counts. So a question about "How do I use Nisus to get NESY to do such-and-such?" is perfectly valid. If the question is purely about NESY, though, it's irrelevant. Admittedly the question isn't always asked in terms of Nisus. But the comments about ICWord do answer a Nisus question: "How do I, a Nisus user, view Word documents?" It's a clear, simple rule, to my mind. (Truth to tell, I find your example much harder to understand. How can a question about NESY -- not Nisus and NESY; a question about NESY -- possibly be relevant to a list about NisusWriter? Would you ask a question about Excel on a list devoted to Word?) -- Bob Waltz waltzmn@skypoint.com "The one thing we learn from history -- is that no one ever learns from history."
