If *you* search the list archive, you'll see that Alexander is a *big*
contributor to the help here.

It is *not* bitching. He is informing folks about being resourceful, as
well as answering the question.
Believe me, with sometimes as much as 300 postings a day, and answering
the same question like 30 times in a week, I believe he has the right to
tell folk to check the archives.
For instance, by checking the archives, you save:
1) our bandwidth
2) you get your answer quicker
3) you learn to become more resourceful
4) everyone wades thru less cruft
