But, have 2 or more Google posters running on as if this is a chat room is off the scale." I'm so sorry that I confused you. I'll go flog myself with birtch branches and pray until a sign from the gods of the holy news group tell me I'm forgiven. Thanks for the usefull information to my original posting, No birch flogging necessary! He/she is right, though. This is a public forum, and it helps if the thread of conversation is succinct, but complete. Even if "Fear of Opinions" (is the mere presence of such a userID contrary to USENET?) didn't exactly give you any useful information, the main complaint might be that your public thread did not offer much more, simply because of the format. For what it's worth, I was actually interested in the original post, but was not able to follow the thread without difficulty. Once could think of this in a different way: English speakers have many ad hoc rules they adhere to when conversing with other English speakers. There are many shared notions of communication that are outside of official grammar that we stick to to maximize understanding. Written communication is no different, except that specific situations like USENET may require a closer set of specific ad hoc rulesets. Things like bottom posting and obvious, succinct quoting just help everything work better. Well, it helps in cases where the participants are not spoiling for a fight.
