Well (notice I took the trouble to snip stuff irrelevant) Jim's advice is good. I'm thinking of following it too, though that would place Mike in there with a very select group. "If you are "done with this" why jump in here to tell us? That is a real arsehole comment seen so often by posters who always claim to be done with a topic but somehow always think they have the right to the last word. If your mind isn't open you won't learn anything from a discussion. Jim hit on the real crux of the matter: one-liner top-posted meaningless replies with the entire thread repeated below complete with admin-headers. Wonderful consideration for digest readers and those who actually follow the thread anyway. Will Mike ever snip anything from a message? Does not look hopeful. Shame really because some of Mike's recent contributions (on photography) have been valuable. Bob
