Boy were you surprised! Ted, there are other aspects of the list protocol. One has to do with message format. You seem to have great difficulty with this one, requiring other people to manually reformat, and often to guess what you're talking about. Another has to do with politeness. You seem to abuse this one again and again; it's one of the reasons why I seldom read this mailing list any more. You've probably driven off a number of people who would be able to give *helpful* answers. Please stop. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
