Data Form Dialogue Box Counts Backwards
Hi Lauren:
We'll let you off with just four Hail Marys this time :-) Seriously: It used to be considered good Netiquette to send an email drop-copy to the original poster whenever you replied to a Usenet post. In this age of spam, it no longer is. Some people will now abuse you pungently if you send a drop-copy :-) In the meantime, the whole concept of Usenet itself has been purloined by the "screen scrapers" out there. The core knowledge store for this "place" still resides on an NNTP Usenet server that peers with any sever that asks it to (as a Usenet server should). But sadly, more than 80 per cent of our audience now arrives via one of the websites that are slurping up all our hard work and surrounding it with advertising, so people have no idea that they can actually still get their answers in hours or minutes and spam-free :-) Cheers On 28/5/06 1:58 AM, in article , "Lauren" wrote: I apologize PROFUSELY for not continuing this sooner.

John,
Since my religion is that of Jesus and Moses, I guess I'm off the hook!
