Anything of substance to add...no I thought not....
It's *of substance* if it clarifies something else that has been posted. --
Q
YOu see I saw a spell checker you saw someone helping! It is hard to
make out when Sacha is actually trying to help..she is mostly just
getting in the way
If you are interested in this stuff at all, have a look at:

Happy reading !
thanks Peeks!
It doesn't matter whom you were responding to. This is an open forum. If
your response to Sacha was supposed to be private, then it belonged in
email. -- Q
To whom you were responding. Or is this the sort of pedantry up with
which you will not put?!
If you insist on playing childish games, people will see you for the
malicious asshole that you really are.

Firstly, when I answered you, I hadn't seen Q's post. Secondly, contrary to
the behaviour you exhibit on here, this is not a private discussion board,
it is a public newsgroup and anyone can answer, comment on or amplify any
discussion they wish. Thirdly, "thank you Sacha for the additional
information you posted for our benefit", would have been polite at the very
least.
he posted three hours before you...if you were truely making an effort
I will say thank you..but i don't beleive it
He has told you before she is she. I had not seen Q's posted because I
hadn't opened it. I thought you might be interested in the additional
material. In future, I won't bother and you can remain as ignorant as the
day you were born.
lol.
you might want to try that yourself sometime you lunatic.
Not all posts go to all servers at the same time.
Too many people think email is instantaneous (it can be... or not; some
doesn't show up for several hours) and that all people on a newsgroup
get the messages at the same time (they don't).

Oh and I suppose the dog ate your homework
