What I am saying is Thunderbird made it look like you were responding to
my post with a "Works for me!", which you were not.

Moving Thunderbird's settings from:
View-Threads-Unread
to
View-Threads-All
I was able to see you were actually responding to Art's post.

That being said, my response was not out of hand, but I did wonder why
the tone of your post was as such.
Now I understand.


Wow, a little dense here. Got you now.

Thunderbird is my favorite newsreader. Thank you for making me aware of
what was happening. Now I wonder if this has happened before and taken
advantage of my ignorance? Well, at least I have a chance of watching
out for this now! Sorry for any misunderstanding on my part.

I just copy-the-mail mostly here; I believe you mentioned you tend to
do the same also. New ideas, methods, designs, new construction
methods, new ways of looking at old ideas, etc. are what I mainly search
for in my personal interests; And, those who share some of their
knowledge and use of smith charts, maths, etc. are always of interest to
me. Too often threads are just a rehash of some tried-and-true antenna
design and construction methods. While this is always of interest to
newbies, and should be if not, I tend to skip over them (or, been there,
done that, built it, etc.)

However, I was collecting a lot of material on conventional antennas,
matching circuits, SWR bridges, etc. and properly indexing it so someone
asking a common question or seeking a common design could be referred
there without reinventing some ancient conversation describing their
constructions, workings, operation, etc.; But, some evil person broke
in while I was on holiday and stole a lot of computer equipment here.
Among the computer equipment stolen was the USB external hard drive
containing the website I was constructing. I have just started the
project all over ... A few individuals here have already done this, to
some degree and have some material on baluns/ununs, antennas, etc. on a
website and available for view.

Warm regards,
