OK, congratulations, you've done it nicely, and hopefully some people on
the list can make use of your success for their own projects. So far, so
good, and I don't want to spoil the party, but I want to ask you again to
respect netiquette by not quoting the whole thread in your contribution.
Have a look at your last post - here are the statistics: 15 lines of header
(every post has them), 1 line of message body, 30 lines of quoted thread
(sort of a negative record in signal/noise ratio), three times 15 lines of
list footer (one forced, two quoted - a significant addition to the
abovementioned noise). Keep in mind that list subscribers are supposed to
read list posts, so you don't have to explain the whole thread when you add
a new contribution.
Excuse me for wasting your bandwidth!
Cheers, OM
