OT for this thread, but I wanted to say to Mark that I always find my own
posts to the discussion list never seem to appear to me untill someone
replaies to them. I have frequently questioned whether I was doing

perhaps it is some dubious "feature" of the list. Wish I knew, because it
is troubling when you are not sure if your post was ever received.
