   Something else you **should** do, and esp. if you insist on continuing   
   to use that absolutely awful google groups interface, is learn how to   
   trim unnecessary quoted material from your replies.   
      
   You had 85 lines of quote in the post to which I replied, most not   
   relevant to your actual added content, for only 24 lines of material   
   added by you.   
      
   Do note that google's awful interface initially hides from you the   
   amount of repetitive quoted material you are including, which is but   
   one of numerous reasons why the google interface is absolutely awful.   
   This is one of the reasons why very many people have killfiles for   
   "anything from google groups" (i.e., they would never see your posts)   
   is the fact that google groupers are likely to do things like leave 85   
   lines of irrelivant quoted material present, then add a small amount   
   (you at least added 24 lines).  Far too many google groupers will leave   
   185 or more lines of not relevant quote to add two lines of text.
