Lordy, lordy. He only intended for it to be posted *once*. Each time he posted it, he assumed it would become the only version available. He's new to Yahoo Groups and hasn't quite figured out how it all works yet. He didn't realize, it seems, that some folks get the posts by email, so they'd get it every time he posted it.
And then he thought (still thinks, apparently) that the second version had been deleted from the Web site when it wasn't; that's the only reason he posted it a third time. IOW, there's no earthly reason, given his understanding at that point, for him to have changed the color or font or included a note or whatever. As far as he knew, nobody would be comparing versions; he thought folks would be seeing only his corrected version. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "seventhray1" <steve.sundur@...> wrote: <snip> > When you posted the second time, do you not feel it would have been > adviseable to make it clear it was a second corrected posting and just a > reposting of the original post.
