Today's Posts - 2nd attempt

I think it more likely that the "discussion" has simply slid off topic
without anyone changing the subject header.     This happens extremely
regularly in mailing lists and I long ago learned that very few contents
match their headers after the first dozen or so exchanges.

It is however a pity that the header concerned had been first used to
trigger a set of questions for Dave and subsequently became just a local
conversation and I feel a real sense of regret if Dave does feel misled.
I very much enjoyed his responses which I found honest, informative and
illuminating and I certainly hope he doesn't feel he was wasting his
time.    My thanks to him and to Kris for the opportunity and for the
information so freely given.

Regrettably it's just human nature to post replies without checking what
subject line headed up the original message, especially if people join
in without realising that the original header *was* specifically
directed.    It is confusing but it's certainly not intended to mislead.

Thanks again to Dave and co.

PS I've just seen that I accidentally sent the first version of this out
without a reply.    Thus are problems compounded.    sorry!
