Seems like a reasonable request to me. ..you both make a rather reasonable request. IME top posting etc has people to loose track of attribution, and references are not always available due to the use of flawed mail client mix out here, and in the other lists I follow. ..in one memorable case, flawed attribution nearly bought me a law suit, as one dork called another dork dork, upon which the other dork dorked his case proving the first dork right and handed me all the dark credit etc. With my rather firm standing ;-) and my excessive attributions, he was able to find out for himself just who was at fault, before wasting his money on a law suit. ..I hope to have a decent mail user client that allows listwise attribution setups in a couple of months, meanwhile I and a few other people try to recover our 3.3G mail list archives off some _garbled_ html, and the current crap list sw sprays messages everywhere except into their threads. ..otherwise, I was under the impression the amended thread subject gave away a wee subtle hint flame warfare is the best kinda war. ;-) -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt... ;-) ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry...
