CompuServe Messages

>>Once again, Compuserve's nasty habit of evaporating messages before I get a chance to read them strikes. David J. Marks (no relation) quotes someone else, saying only… Regarding my quote, I intended it as a reminder to the addressee what I was commenting on (as I did here). Generally subject lines have no relevance to what is really being discussed (ie. this message) so I do try to put enough info for others to get the idea. Since you singled me out on this particular thread, I was simply saying "Bravo" to the Yost Group on their proposed routine. It didn't at the time seem neccessary to say "Gary, Bravo on your proposed SPATH.KXP which will do blah, blah, blah…". Not long ago, I was part of a long thread with GregP and others about reducing the quoting rather than being more verbose. There were a few people here who had a real problem with long quotes, so we've all tried to quote just enough to get the idea across without requiring lots of repetitive reading. If you do jump into a thread late, just ask for details and someone will gladly fill you in. Forgive me if I've mistaken your tone. You sounded frustrated, so I felt it neccessary to explain.
