After all you hear and read english every day. There's simply no way you could avoid it, even if you wanted to. Anyway, this kind of forum gives you some time to think, and to correct at least the worst misstakes before you hit Send. > -- > N. B. Day I'll keep to my habit of ending my letters with a question. (It's amazing how they keep popping up when you have started asking one.) This one is definitely a newbie question of the highest degree. It concerns the use of mailing lists at large, namely: How do you end a thread that you started? It would be kind of rude to just cease answering the replies, but I have seen far too many threads get out of hand, as well as out of topic, on this list already. Time for bed See you all -- Björn
