Perhaps you should try reading the newsletters and learning how to help
yourself. Can we all expect to receive emails over every little indicator
issue you happen to think of?

Excuse bluntness but we are all recieving these emails from every newbie who
comes along. Unfortunately my signal noise ratio is starting to swamp the
filters. Try and assist. Nothing wrong with questions but its better for
all if you can post " I want this", "and I did that", "it didn't work", "can
you help" format.
