Erik,

I woudl disagree, for example in this thread I have read the same message now at least 5 times to find a one sentence response at the end. My mouse button finger is getting tired <g>. I just chopped the quote to just your last response, which emans anyone reading this emssage will see your quote and my reply without scrolling at all.
