You need to improve your reading skills. Mr. Leggett did say that he had
tried for a year to get you to change, but nowhere does he claim the credit.
I don't see any point overstated in his post. He said you saw you had to
change it and you did. If it hasn't stopped a lot of this on TN-bird then
that would be an overstatement.

Nowhere do you claim to have never known how to make the change. I suspect
that the replies went to the list because that was your preference. It was
always a simple administrative command.

PS: No apology for sending to the list. Mr. Coffey set the example with his
peevish reply.
