All: Speaking of clogging up the thread, I feel the need to point out one of my pet peeves (this is not directed at you, Jon). What's up with all of the one-sentence or even one-word posts that are in response to another post. It's a chore just to figure out what they're referring to. Until recently, almost everyone copied a portion of the post they were responding to, so that the reader wouldn't have to go search for it and download another message. With as many people as we now have posting on and following this thread (probably several hundred), why not show a bit of common courtesy and save a few hundred people some time by indicating what you're responding to in your message? Thanks in advance. Mark T.
