Thank you!! :-)

P.S.  As for the others, when you are posting to a large mailing list,
please make the tiny effort to show some courtesy to the hundreds of
recipients to delete the excess bulk in the message other than the
specific item to which you are responding.  We don't need to receive the
same text five times. We've already seen it the first (and second and
third...) time it was posted :-)

I understand that Micro$oft Outlook and some other email programs
encourage this kind of laziness and profound discourtesy by defaulting the
reply to begin _before_ the text to which you are responding.  (Or maybe
that's "Jeopardy"-style by positioning the answer before the question. 
"I'll take Bikies for $500, Alex.")

Perhaps it's one thing to quickly send off a reply to an individual person
without regard for neatness. But when you are sending to a list, you have
many others to consider such that it is a matter of the most basic
courtesy to focus on the specific material to which you are replying and
delete the bloat.

And, yes, as India noted, the hundreds of other people on the list don't
need to be included in your personal catfight either.
