That's a good link. We don't discourage links to other forums for tech info unless it becomes shameless cheerleading.

...and yet you issue me an "infraction" for posting it and providing the OP with the info he needed to answer his question???

There was no "cheerleading" involved, nothing more than a "good link" (your words) to a page that was directly applicable to the OP's inquiry, rather than plagiarizing that site's information by doing a copy/paste (which would also be breaking the rules here)?

So...if I understand this correctly, you're saying I can't plagiarize that site's info by posting it here, nor can I post a direct link to that info? How the heck is this policy serving anybody? I'd have been more than happy to post a FTE link that contained the data he was seeking, but I'm not aware of anything on this site that would answer his question. So for future reference can you provide me with such a link?

And just so I know....if someone requests information that isn't on this site but can be easily answered by info on another site, how do you propose I get this information to the OP? Carrier pigeon? Smoke signals?
