JM:-
However, I would have still made the mistake (NAS vs BOH)
that started this discussion. The problem wasn't that
I _couldn't_ figure out who wrote what - it was that I didn't
bother to. I was expecting that BOH would be the person
responding, and I didn't bother to notice that it was
actually NAS. Sorry about that.
I agree with almost everyone else on this group - please
use a methodology that automatically inserts the
greater-than signs, John. And, if you are reading,
this also applies to you, Tom, and you, Michael.
