Ahem.  Your post was cross-posted, you asked for replies to a specific 
newsgroup, I thought that was asking for follow-ups to that group,

Probably in many peoples eyes, to whom I apologise, but if a thread is

Now I've seen your [POSTED TO comp.dcom.modems.cable; PLEASE REPLY 
THERE] many times, and your response to my comments, I have now worked 
out what you meant by that rather strange couple of phrases.  I hope the
