I'm confused. I was just noting a related post. I think the stackexchange post was made after Sajjad's email and your response, so you couldn't have seen it anyway. I don't know if that was a cross-post or not (meaning it is the same person who made both posts). It doesn't really matter. Whenever I see two open questions that are related, I try to "link" them so that (1) people do not waste time trying to solve a problem that is already solved (for a fun and informative read, see http://www.latex-community.org/home/latex-community/94-etiquette/454-crossposts); and (2) if someone google's and comes across this question, they can follow the link and find a related topic of interest that might help in solving their problem. Did I misunderstand something? I am often bad with communication through text, so I'm always looking for ways to improve. Suggestions are welcome. Looking back, I think one thing I could have done better is reply to Sajjad's email instead of your email. When I am not quoting something and I just want to reply, I have the habit of just replying to the last email in the thread. By I suppose that has the side effect that you think I am responding directly to you. Would it have been better if I responded to Sajjad instead of the last email in the thread (which happened to be yours)? Also, I could have removed you from GMail's "reply all" default, which is a lazy way of respond to the list. Would that have avoided confusion? Scott
