Pardon me again (7th time today!), I understand Sonya's comment.... it is
fun to be pedantic with the language but we should try to avoid
over-analysing - for only one reason: the volume of emails.
As for Bruce, I find it hard to ignore a bolded subject heading of an
un-read email, even if I know the subject matter has been dealt with.
I like everyone's style.... and I like the personalities that make a
technical writer. I feel at home here.....sigh
