Scott,

  I don't follow stackexchange. Mail lists work best for me. So, no, I did
not see that the request was asked in two places.

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?

OK I'll pay more attention to that. Soon I will be mostly leaving
GMail for Mutt, where I just need to press "l" for list reply.

  The message was addressed to me, not the list (that address was a copy).
Thought it was directed at me.
