Well, mine are threaded, by subject, threads start with the initial
posting and new stuff is added in date order, beneath.
Nope - not here - all jumbled up.
Oh and 'Reply' and 'Reply to list do
the same thing. Maybe I have not set it up right but I don;t log on
here much - except this week.
Reply replies to the sender. Reply to List replies to a list or
newsgroup. In the case of this list, the sender and the list are one and
the same. In the case of the Oracle-L list I subscribe to, reply to
sender send the email back to the poster and not to the list, reply to
list does the opposite - oracle-l gets it, not the OP. (Well, the OP
gets it from the list but not directly from me.)
It's not you and not TBird that is at fault, it's simply the fact that
the sender is the list in this case.
It did not work that way in Turnpike. If you hit private reply it
replied direct to the sender and not the list.
Free software is like that too sometimes,
I agree. Mind you, commercial software is just as bad.
Now, funnily enough, I was discussing this last night with 6 people in
the Dive Club
BSAC or PADI? I'm an old BSAC myself.
I am a BSAC Dive Leader, Diver Cox and Open Water Instructor. Currently
the clubs Diving Officer and just finishing the Advanced Diver course.

There you could not resist replying again - even though I have just
driven back from a songwriting session in London.
Now you have my full admiration there Roy. I do admire people who have
talent - music, crafts or whatever. I have very little I'm afraid. I can
play my digeridoo (now that gave the spell checker a headache!) as long
as I don't have to circular breathe - I have yet to master that little
nicety. Good luck with the songs.
Well I don't know if I have talent. I enjoy writing, songs, blogs on my
MySpace page and I used to enjoy writing the QL Today columns. Songs are
the best because they are more personal. I do it, like I do everything
really, purely for the fun of doing it. I leave it for others to decide
if they are worth it or not. Like you I never got much feedback from the
articles I wrote. One of my main problems in life was that, most of teh
time, I never did anything for money. It never really interested me.
These days I do a job I quite dislike so that is probably the first time
in many years that I have done normal work. Everything else is just for
fun. I spent all day yesterday running the siund, and providing the
sound equipment for a local open air show. 11 hours work for free. But I
had a great time. That is what life is all about.
