<EM>&gt; I don't think there are any stupid questions you could ask - just
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; questions that come over and over again. If you (Nick Lamb) are tired of

<EM>&gt; reading them, just ignore them.

<P>Oh, the spammer's refrain. &quot;If you don't like it just ignore it&quot;. There
<BR>
is a technical FIX for this problem. SANE is computer software, and can
<BR>
be adapted to tell the user what mistakes they're likely to have made
<BR>
when it encounters an error.
<BR>
<P>I propose getting scanimage to tell the user what's going wrong. You'd
<BR>
rather answer all the questions yourself. &lt;sigh&gt;
<BR>
<P>Nick.
<BR>
<P>PS There is a reason this list no longer gets mail from users who don't
<BR>
know they need SCSI generic support. Is it because we finally told all
<BR>
of them, or because of my patch to find-scanner? Guess.
