I'm not sure what you meant. Did you mean:
(1) Chris writes clear answers that are consistently accurate, and shares
his knowledge with others?
or
(2) Chris writes posts that are grammatically correct and make sense, unlike
your post above?
I'm sure you didn't mean:
(3) Chris answered a question after it had already been answered.
The reason I'm sure you didn't mean #3 is that this would display an
ignorance of how newsgroups work. This is not like a Yahoo group or
astromart forum where everyone receives the posts at the same time. A
question is posted and that post migrates to various news servers. In this
case, I received it and answered it before Chris saw it. Other people will
receive only the question, even after I had answered it. They will receive
the question, but not the answer(s) that have been posted to it. So they
will in turn answer it, not knowing it has been answered. This is one reason
you will see several answers to one question, even though the answers are
nearly all the same. Of course, many of us (myself included) simply start at
the top and work our way down. So we answer a question and do not discover
until later it has already been answered. And as well, a third reason you
will find different answers is that each person posting an answer will
explain it a little differently. One may include a detail another omitted
and vice versa. Or simply because it is described differently, one answer
may make sense to the original questioner while another does not. Of course,
I'm sure this isn't what you meant as it would display ignorance on your
part. However if that is the case, reading posts by Chris and others will
aid your education.
