While were having this little chat let me point out to Tony that I often
find your replies very hard to find. See the example below.

Interesting - I have _never_ seen ':' until now.   <--- Tony's reply

Perhaps, because your email program does "intelligent" things to the text to
emphasise the thread logic in some way, you may not realise the problem even
now. Try viewing it in a text-only application to see what I mean; your
reply gets completely lost in the ambient verbiage! This has been the case
as long as Ive been on this list, so in the early days, when I believed all
email clients were the same, I made sure to leave a blank line above and
below my own inserted responses (I wonder how that comes across on some
people's screens!) If Im the only person with this "problem" I apologise for
taking up your time - otherwise, perhaps you might consider adapting your
style for the benefit of your reading public?
