As I just clarified to David Ross, I find this list "noisy" only in its
volume due the number of machines and issues we discuss.... Indeed, this

-and I'll stand by my preference for top posting when there are so many
messages to wade through. Paging through numerous reposting of the
reference post is a pain.
The Jurassic peroid, huh?:)
