I apologize if this postscript disturbed you. As you saw on the thread about MLs (prompted by this postscript), this issue is very common. I prefer a permanent solution rather than educating every newbie. The current pattern annoys both the devs (off-topic interruptions on the platform ML) and the newbies (thinking they made a mistake when the system encourages it.) Fixing the problem requires overcoming considerable resistance to change. solprovider
