Salad, perhaps this is a new user who expects an e-mail response. If so, you
could just reply by e-mail. That would be cutting him a lot less slack than
you suggest we cut for PC Datasheet.
And, if this user isn't reading newsgroup responses to his/her questions,
what would make you think he would read your admonition?

I never respond to e-mails (unless I press the wrong button
inadvertently) because #1) most people use fake addresses and #2) I
consider it rude for posters to expect people to respond directly to them.
Regarding your comment on Datasheet, he's not going to change (Knock on
wood he's one of the few...I prefer playing by the rules)
Now, if I did start responding to people, I'd probably provide my true
email address and attempt to drum up business. But if I did that, then
I wouldn't use this alias.

:-). One can only hope. But you're right. He's posted the same
question 3 different times.
