What the OP did was entirely different, Billo. Note what I stated in
my second paragraph. Thread drift falls under that heading (make it
more descriptive) and yes, it's annoying when people don't adjust
things.
The OP replied to a message digest (sin #1) and tried to make it a new
thread (sin #2). It's quite possible that the OP is a list newbie and
all I was trying to point out is that it's not acceptable to do that and
how to start new threads that are appropriate.
