Judy, I made a straightforward comment to iranitea and then I answered a bunch
of questions from you. If you don't want me to comment on software, etc. then
don't ask me questions! I highly doubt that anyone is looking to me for
guidance in all this!

Well, let's look at this comment.
To click on the URL in Buck's post, you have to have clicked on the post
itself, which you claimed explicitly that you hadn't done.
If you *did* click on Buck's post (contrary to what you said to start with),
and then on the URL in Buck's post, as you say now, you saw a page listing
messages. This was what you called a "short list," saying you had wondered why
it was so short when there were many years' worth of FFL posts. That rather
strongly suggests you did *not* try clicking on "Earlier messages" (which is at
the top as well as at the bottom, just BTW), because if you had, you'd have
seen that it wasn't a "short list."
Then you switched to saying the list was *in* Buck's post, which it wasn't.
As to Alex's comment, you were replying (I use the term loosely) to my
questions *about what you had been saying and asking about in your posts*, to
me and to others, because what you had been saying and asking wasn't making any
sense--and still isn't (see above, and below as well).
In quoting Alex's comment, I meant to echo his suggestion that you stay out of
this software discussion *unless you have some real issues* that are hampering
your ability to post. That does not seem to be the case, and you don't seem
able to follow the other software discussions or make any sensible comments
about them. You just say whatever random thought pops into your head without
making any effort to ensure that it makes sense or is relevant, or even that
it's consistent with what you've said previously.
If you *do* encounter an issue and ask about it, we'll do our best to figure
out what you're asking and give you some answers. But you are not contributing
anything at all to solving the issues others have--to the contrary, in fact.

I clicked on the url in Buck's post, scrolled down and lo and behold! the words
earlier messages. Yes, and since I was replying to your questions, again what
is the relevance of Alex's comment?

No, sorry, Share, at this point the exchange was between you and me; you were
replying to me.
If you didn't click on Buck's post, how did you know there were earlier
messages in it?
In any case, I was referring (in another post) to your claim that Buck had
posted a URL to a "short list." He did not, he posted a URL to a *very long
list*. And that has nothing to do with his posts that quoted earlier messages.
