Keep in mind, I am also a member of the list. By cc-ing it to me, you end up sending me two copies, and that necessitates one extra delete click for me. :-) > Jean-Denis > > > > On 7/1/09 22:41 , "P Kishor" <punk.k...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> On Wed, Jul 1, 2009 at 3:39 PM, James Gregurich<bayouben...@mac.com> wrote: >>> >>> How would I have "hijacked" a thread?
