Gurinder, There is no disrepect in use / non-use of "please". Email is quick informal way and I will treat all participants of any mailing list as my friends. Just as you do not type "Dear Gurinder, with respect to you missive of instant in response to my response to Santosh's message...." while using email. Secondly there are many instance of thread hijacking and those of us who do have threaded view enabled or do a subject id search find messages popping up in middle of some where they are not supposed to. Pointing this out once in while is useful for all concerned. Lastly unless I got a gentle tap on my wrists I also did not realise the mistakes I was committing (or continue to commit). And there is no core, be active and you are the core.
