I'm still a bit confused. My impression is that in many cases you reply in one email to a collection of things people have said - which allows you to synthesis their points and your responses in one (admittedly sometimes long in order to be comprehensive) message. > So again, please rest assured that I do and will read every e-mail sent > to this mailing list, and will consider all such e-mails carefully. Consider me assured. Thanks for the explanation and sorry for the misunderstanding. > [etc] cheers Chaals -- Charles McCathieNevile Opera Software, Standards Group je parle français -- hablo español -- jeg lærer norsk http://my.opera.com/chaals Try Opera: http://www.opera.com
