I'll put this more bluntly: Warren's messages to date egregiously break the flow of discussion. Warren, in the interest of sane discussion in these forums, please: * preserve attribution lines on quoted material so we can see who wrote what. * use the convention of “New subject (was: Old subject)” when you change the ‘Subject’ field of a message. * switch to a client that preserves threading in messages you send, i.e. that properly constructs the ‘References’ and ‘In-Reply-To’ fields. General advice good for everyone, of course, but particularly apropos to this reply. Any one of the above is detrimental to omit; striking on all three makes a discussion almost impossible to follow.
