Which goes to show that there is no way to please everyone, and perhaps also that change is sometimes difficult to tolerate.

One of the great advantages of getting this forum as a newsgoup is that one sees it threaded. I don't have to evaluate each and every message for interest, for example, I can treat a whold thread as a unit.
