Gentlemen,
I am truly sorry for having started this thread.

PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TO THIS POST AS I DO NOT WANT
TO START A DIFFERENT DISCUSSION. PLEASE LET THIS THREAD DIE.

What I see happening here in this mailing list is exactly identical
to what I see happening on other lists I am on.
The reason being is that every respondent decides to cut off pieces
of the original message, and then top posting, so that when someone
who has not followed the whole thread from the start,  sees the post,
will reply to the most recent post, and assumes wrongly about the last
2 or 3 opinions kept in the message. All this leads to misunderstanding
and a lot of bad feelings and angst.

ENOUGH SAID. PLEASE PLEASE! LET THIS THREAD DIE.
