May I suggest that if you are so sure about where your answer is,
go there and ask the question.  I think it somewhat impolite to shout
"this is NOT the parameter" !  How about a bit of appreciation...
try "this isn't exactly what I was after" or "are there any other ways -
someone on the hackers list said....".  I can see where Jordan was
coming from with is "I'm outta here" post a while ago.

What exactly is your problem with the maxusers line ?
