bg: Sorry, Mark, my usual inclination is to try to be helpful, but I watch about 40 noobs a week miss the "unsub" verbiage, on various lists, and when Number Forty-One comes drooling along, I snap :-) I am perfectly capable of being sympathetic to people's difficulties when navigating unfamiliar situations, providing they appear to be holding up their end by exerting at least a minimal effort to actually pay attention. This "unsub" one is a pet peeve, because it reflects an almost total, practically *studied* inattention. If they don't bother noticing the line at the bottom, I doubt they would notice it at the top.
