They are playing nice, Allysyn.  Bors has gotten flack when he
has called into question the courtesy or net-competence of people
who haven't been careful about what they post; like the duplicate
message I just inadvertantly posted -- sorry!

Maybe Bors has been a bit curmudgeonly about it, but he's an old
guy, we could cut him a bit of slack.

Now, folks, when you post a note to the list, the software attaches
one of these to the bottom:

If you reply to a note, another will get attached at the bottom.  On 
long threads, you might see quite a few of these scattered throughout
messages.  It would be courteous, and it would make your messages
easier to read, if you just highlight the thing, and hit "backspace".
It cleans up your messages quite a bit.  I usually delete lengthy
".sig" files from the ends of messages I'm replying to, as well.

Othar, I think this is what you're seeing that starting the whole 
topic.

Does that help?
