I am using g-mail for the silver list because of the problem of getting the silver_list on comcast.net.
The g-mail automatically hides all the quoted text, and only showed Marshall's reply, so I didn't even know that it might appear that I was replying to dee. Also, g-mail insists on organizing the posts in topical format, so it is also difficult to get a sense of how old some of the posts really are. At first read, Marshall's post seemed a bit exasperated or defensive that we would even attempt to test something that he had done ages ago... but it is easy to misinterpret this sort of thing. I know that he is pretty steady emotionally so I didn't feel it would be a problem if I tweaked his nose once or twice... ;-)) Dan On Wed, Jul 29, 2009 at 2:40 AM, M. G.
