By the way, which thread are you replying to again? Threads live when people participate in them. It takes at least two people to maintain a thread. There are many people posting to this thread, so it must be fairly interesting to list participants, even if it is not interesting to you. Personally, I reply to threads, I don't start them. If nobody else posts on the topic, it dies. I don't resurrect threads because I assume that if nobody else replies to a thread, it must no longer be of interest. And as for threads that don't interest me, I simply ignore them; I don't expect the rest of the list to stop posting to them for my benefit. Complaining about their off-topic character just adds to their length, or creates additional off-topic threads filled with complaint. -- Anthony
