What tone? You call that "tone" ? You're slipping..... been to too many 'team' meetings lately? Agreeded; just pointing it out. I find gmane too useful so I tend to prune and post succinctly. Rarely do I need to put up a big long post. But I do read and snip before posting; so my approach is a valid as any..... focus, snip and post goes a long way, but it does require some reading and editing skills, just to set the record straight. Noobs can follow who they like, as they like, when they like.... When needed I just use an nntp font end...... (oh, had my own solution already?) tricky; precious; tricky........ You're slipping, you old_fart ? James
