Segmenting the list will breed elitism, if there is not enough here already. :-) What I have seen work best, is what they do at jdc (java develop connection) is to give everyone several hundred java bucks to "seed" the rewards board. When people post a question, they assign java bucks to it. The person who answers it first, to the statisfaction of the poster and a moderator get the java bucks, whicn you can then use on your own questions OR use them in the Java Online store to buy trinkets and trash. If you REALLY want an answer, you assign it more java bucks. -- Bob Tanner <tanner at real-time.com> | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.mn-linux.org | Fax : (952)943-8500 Key fingerprint = 6C E9 51 4F D5 3E 4C 66 62 A9 10 E5 35 85 39 D9
