Ed, It was ever thus - or at least as long as I have been contributing to "fora" such as the IBM-MAIN list/group.
As far as Thomas is concerned I know I am - and I suspect Pat at least is - twiddling my/his thumbs until Thomas comes back to us with sufficient details for us to be able to work on as he has more or less promised - see his post of Monday, 24 April, 2006 6:57 PM - as we eagerly scan each post with the Subject title. It's part of the fun of participating in these gatherings that such wonderful tangents develop and I hope some of the 2000 plus attendees gets something out of these often arcane discussions. Take the recent - and still ongoing - one sparked by needing to resolve the input to the linkage editor that exposed every last aspect of the REP card. On the other hand there's been the one about "offensive language" as perceived by the so-called "net nannies", the tone of which I tried to lift to no avail :-) I do hope Thomas doesn't consider it "bad form" to drag us back to the business discussion. We await his next input - but we won't (a)bate our breath I think. Actually, it's not at all certain that the contention implicit in your first sentence is correct, that is, the "using IP" part. That's some indication of how far we haven't really got with this query.
