Jim,
I do believe we already covered this with you a couple months ago (and if
I'm mistaken I apologize). I wish I didn't have to bring this up, YET
AGAIN, but apparently some people just don't get it.
It's acceptable when the conversation strays from an ON-TOPIC thread (as
long as it doesn't linger for long, but they always do, <sigh>), but
to start an entirely OFF-TOPIC thread, as you did, is totally
inappropriate and inconsiderate to the rest of us here. Have some
courtesy.
In the VERY least, put an OT: prefix on your message subject, and in this
case, if you're at all honest, you might also include, "I'm too lazy to go
looking for this information in the bazillions of websites and books
available on the topic".
P.S. Fix your reply-to configuration.
