Robert,

Please send suggestions for fixing questions raised on-list to the
list, not privately, unless you have a (usually security-motivated)
reason for not doing so.

Replies like yours can be a bit frustrating to others following the
thread, hoping for a solution, because what if Steve writes back,
"That fixed it! ありがとうございます！"? Now people with the same problem have to
post to the list: "*What* fixed it, please? I also want to use GAIM
with my yahoo.co.jp account!"

Please don't take offence; I am just trying to explain why it is
better to keep everything on-list.

Cheers,
Josh
