The whole idea is to give you an easy way of seeing how SmartList's defaults are set; in this case, if you want everyone to be able to post, you can see that SmartList is already set up that way, and you know you don't need to do anything.
That's nice if you know this. Most newbys are getting problems with the comments. Your suggestion for an additional FAQ item regarding the double comments is right but I think the whole configuration should be modified because it's not user friendly. You may save some cpu cycles if you follow the double/single comment approach but on the other side there are some variables which are set twice even in the default configuration (e. g. X_COMMAND, X_COMMAND_PASSWORD). I would prefer a solution where there is only one rc.custom as a configuration file (maybe hard linked with rc.init in the list directory). Within rc.custom all variables should be set or empty, i. e. foreign_submit = and unsub_assist = 8 There wouldn't be any more variables with comments in front or without an equal sign and therefore less ambiguity what's set and what's empty. You even won't need more cpu cycles than before ;) Werner
