Hi gang! Amen! Down with the equals signs. I've tried various means of reading messages. Regardless of method, they always interrupt the flow of thought and cause confusion. Likewsie, I first thought it was only happening on posts from members of the APH staff. But they are not alone. Now K know that it would be a simple thing to mute the equals. But that wouldn't solve it because there are cases when it is necessary to hear it, which would obviously be broken if we used that as a solution. Cheers, Dave
