Nathan:

At first I took your message to be a hostile attack on me, but I
realized that you have very good points.  I understand that the Usenet
is not meant to be a Dear Abbey column or a help clinic.  However, the
Usenet is an incredible vehicle for exchanging information and ideas. 
No, I didn't think that there would be a group of wise sages that would
guide me to the light.  Instead, I hoped I could get some useful
feedback from people of different backgrounds about solving an important
goal of mine.

My all-capital-letters cry for help does kind of convey to the image you
spoke of.  I used all caps to attract attention, but I do see how
someone might wonder if I was in serious danger (which I'm not).  As for
putting my message in the six groups I sent it to, I did this because
possibly some users of one group don't use another.  The groups I sent
the message to dealt with cd-rom, graphics, animation, multimedia, and
music -- all which deal with multimedia in some way.

I didn't think that my message would clutter up the newsgroups. 
However, I somehow didn't foresee that the RESPONSES would.  For this,
I'm sorry.  By the way, what does IMHO mean?
