Hi 'Tiffany',
It's considered a bad idea to take over another person's thread. You should start you own.
Hi Arnie,
Just as an FYI, Tiffany didn't take over any thread. She posted a new
thread, with a subject that happens to be quite popular. So your news
reading software (like mine) uses a title matching algorithm to show you
a threaded structure that never existed.
This technique is great to keep thread structure intact if some posts
don't contain accurate "references" headers, but it bites you in the leg
with unrelated postings that use a common subject.
Oh, and while we're on the subject of news readers, could you please set
up your news client to include line breaks, as still is standard on
usenet? I see that you're using Outlook Express; you'll find the option
to change this throug "Extra" / "Options" / "Send" / (Layout for sending
news) "Settings for unformatted text"
