Bet you never thought you'd live to see it, huh? My last post had *******eight******* new lines of text; the original had 10, with one blank line. Hopefully, the results from this will tell me all I need to know in order to ensure my posts actually go out. There are few things more annoying than spending my time and effort composing a post, typing it in, sending it off (with no errors reported, I might add), only to have it fail to show up! If I can deduce some kind of pattern, my frustration level should go *way* down. (This may or may not be a GoodThing (tm) depending on your perspective...my colleagues have probably been deriving endless enjoyment from watching/hearing me rant, rave, and froth at the mouth. Life Is Rough, folks; guess you'll just have to find some new source of entertainment.) Bye! TDO
