Hi Paul. This /is/ a news group. It is served by an NNTP server. However it isn't a chat group, which would be fine with a top-posted policy where you simply read downwards until you see a post that you recollect. When posts can contain blocks of programming source the decision is less obvious. Threads can easily get into such a mess that it is hard to see what parts are most recent and which is the latest code: I have often been put off posting a reply because I couldn't find the question. Formatting discipline in this group is more important than usual because of that. Rob -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
