The problem is that Usenet is not a computer. It is a bunch of
people communicating through computers. You are using us as your
"reference tools". Most of us are willing to look up hard-to-find data
when we know where it is and think it possible that few others do
(that's what makes Usenet work), but when you ask for readily available
information, you should consider yourself lucky if you get that
information along with a mild rebuttal. We're not your personal
librarians.
