Yes, but how can people follow a thread if the original post
has only been visible for 24 hours? Don't know what filters
have removed my message.
I'm a lurker to some newsgroups and somtimes have had a hard time
bringing the pieces of the orig. post together.
Sorry - I tried to be as polite as possible :-)
