I'm desperately trying to follow this thread, but it's like skiing in molasses... can those of you who quote prior messages-- especially the top-posters amongst you-- please take care to distiguish the quoted text ("so-and-so wrote" as a preface and using angle brackets to signify quoted lines, for example) from the new text? No need to reply to this message; it'd just make the thread more indecipherable. :) -- warren b.
