Slightly in defence, I would say that this is where the debate between 'forum' and 'mail list' probably comes into play as to be honest, I forget sometimes what has been said and am often replying to the current quotes rather than reviewing the whole thread. Having the whole thread on a forum would do nothing to solve that problem as with a long debate you still only see a few messages but at least on my local email archive I can scan back and now am to see just what I did say before. That people fail to follow the etiquette set down to help make the list more readable is probably a good example of why rules will get broken anyway? I am now monitoring just what *I* have posted to a thread, something which can't be done so easily on-line? -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk
