If you get into the good traditional habit of writing your answer below the quoted part, it'll make it easier for you to remember not to quote more than a few lines. And it'll also make it easier for others to understand your answer, and without having to go searching around in many old lines of often more than one quoted message. John may not have noticed your blocked message, and he may be away or sleeping due to New Zealand being in a very different time zone compared to yours. Try resending your answer after removing all but that the few lines of the old message that are necessary for understanding your answer. -- -------list-services-below----------- Regards, John Durham (list moderator) <http://modecideas.com/contact.html?sig> Freelists login at //www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/lsg2.cgi List archives at //www.freelists.org/archives/pchelpers PC-HELPERS list subscribe/unsub at http://modecideas.com/discuss.htm?sig Latest news live feeds at http://modecideas.com/indexhomenews.htm?sig Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
