Actualy, you did... from "small problem..." to "A small problem" - and you didn't "reply", which mean that it was really hard to connect the original post and your response.. There may be something wrong with your mailer, since this message also doesn't thread as a "reply" either... Anyhow, just to let you know, when I read your post I thought "what the hell?" as well.. for many of us that get large amounts of email, it's difficult to pick up who's responding to what if it doesn't "thread" properly, or the original post wasn't quoted in the reply. > > Have YOU ever heard of frigging politeness?
