There are few enough of us and we don't want to loose someone who might be a

contributor to improving things ala emc, so please don't take it personal, 
I'm just being my usual grumpy old (74) fart.

Its just that answers to a question asked, the person replying should make
use 
of the down arrow to place the cursor under the question, and type the
answer 
there so that the continuity is maintained in chronological order.  Or
placed 
at the bottom of the original post.  As you can see, I tend to address 
concerns in the order stated.  And its ok to snip unrelated material too. :)

Usually, but not always, indicated with a
[...]
where the deleted text was.

For sometimes quicker answers, fire up your fav IRC client, goto 
irc.freenode.net, and "/join #emc" where you can generally find a few 
knowledgeable folks to give advice.  But that doesn't wind up in the
archives 
for others to search either unless you leave a copy running and keeping a 
local logfile for your own use.  That will need filtering too as it can have

lots of 'seasoning' at otherwise boring times, same as any IRC channel I've 
visited. :)

Hi Gene
Ahh now I understand I put my answerer at the bottom like this. I said I'd
get it right eventually. As you have probably guessed I am quite new to all
this, and I graciously accept any pointers that will enable me to do things
in a right and proper manner. (As all things should be done).  
Many thanks, best wishes from South Africa 
Dave
