Takin the moral high ground, eh? What yer missing is that the over-quote limit is set ridiculously low, and we should be congratulated for putting up with it for so long. It was arbitrarily set at that level in the beginning and was never changed, although it has been complained about several times in the past, but always dropped after all the whining stopped, as it will be this time. It could prob be doubled with no problem and be less noticeable in the future. Jack Tim Jones wrote: > On Nov 2, 2009, at 10:49 PM, Jack Jones wrote: > >> Hmm knotty problem. Knotty problem indeed.
