Well, here is the last in this seemingly interminable series of postings.
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!
