I didn't mean to start an argument - just an observation/
discussion.
I'll check out the other tips.
Thanks.


I have no interest in running an argument but I usually reply
when someone posts a whole lot of misleading and incorrect
information in response to a genuine question.

Hmmm. You must be pretty powerful in this newsgroup. You discussed my
post
so thoroughly that it doesn't even show up except for a few snippets
in -
Bobb -'s post, at least not in my OE 6.

-Paul Randall

In newsgroups all contributors are equal. Nobody has a special
status. My reply to your post is visible on my machine under OE,
right before Bobb's reply. I posted it exactly 6 hours after yours.
If it is invisible on yours and if you really want to see it then I can
post it again.

I think I found my problem with the 'missing' posts:
OE6 defaults to downloading 300 headers at a time. Since this is a
heavily
used newsgroup, more than 300 questions & responses may have been posted
between the time I posted my response and when I checked back with the
newsgroup. The extras could not be seen by OE6 until I did something
specific to read older headers, namely, repeatedly clicking the 'get next
xxxx headers' item under the tools menu until the unseen stuff showed up.

I appologize for offending you.

-Paul Randall

Good to see that you found the missing posts. And no, you did not
offend me at all. Why should you - there is nothing offensive or
insulting in your reply.
