By the way, I ( for one ) am very put-off with people ( like you )
who begin their posts with crap like:
“ =?UTF-8?Q?Jeff=E2=96=B2Relf?= writes: ”.

I much prefer those who concisely paraphrase
( or quote with “ ” quote marks, as books do ).
For any half-competent Usenetter, the thread is still there.
