[/ QUOTE ]Hi Pete - Thank you. I appreciate that.

I'm pretty sure so-called "newbie" questions actually are supposed to go into the low content thread. I.e., ones that pretty much anyone can answer so they don't actually contribute to the forum.
[/ QUOTE ]Why would newbie type questions belong in the low content thread? How would newbies know their questions belonged in the low content thread?
Think about it.

At least that's how it used to be.
[/ QUOTE ]Wow. If so, it certainly hasn't been evident to me as I have read through the low content threads.
But whatever. It does not make sense to me to require newbies to post their questions in the "low content" thread.
Therefore if it ever was the policy for newbie questions to be posted in the low content thread in this forum, that no longer is the policy.
As moderator of this forum, I can move newbie type questions to the beginner's forum, and might do that in some cases. In this particular case I decided it would be nicer to simply answer Swallowtail's question.
Chucky responded nicely while I was formulating my reply. I answered without realizing Chucky had already done so. No big deal. And then Swallowtail thanked us. That should have been the end of the matter.
Let this be the end of it:<ul type="square">
