I wouldn't blame Ravi for this.  Many reasons could be found to explain the
loss of your messages.  I have dared to use this group to reach people I could
not mail directly, maybe you should have, too.

That would be VERY nice.  Maybe something good comes from my flame after all.

                                                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^   I will.

I didn't mean to pick on those who took part in that discussion.  It just so
happened to be the one I was second-least interested in.  Sorry.

Thanks for responding.  So it seems that there are several possible options
for digest takeover ... this makes me feel better.

   Finally, a word of thanks to those who sent me personal mail. Not one flame,
all 6 messages agreed with me (Russ Evans suggested I should mention this :-).
Also, thanks for your msg to John R. Dunning, and I hope you feel a little less
discouraged now.
