; )

At least I didn't suggest (or as I was tempted to do,
forward to) the IE Beta NG as an alternate venue
for this OT discussion...

<eg>


BTW to make better use of this thread for this newsgroup
has anyone figured out what criteria the server uses to
mark many of my posts (all replies to Group) as questions
than as comments? FWIW I just noticed that the one you
are commenting on was classed as a Comment. I wonder
what this one will be classed as? <EG>

I don't think it is a question mark being inserted in new text
which makes it a Question but YNK.

I thought it could have something to do with my having
to double-send posts to avoid Format=Folded reformatting
the lines that I quoted but since you and I both seem to be
using the same linesize 132 I won't bother doing that for this
one. Who knows maybe that will give it a better chance of
being considered a Comment too, in spite of some questions
being asked? <EG>
