Please send all responses to the relevant news group rather than directly 
to me, as E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my very hungry 
SPAM filter. Due to Google's refusal to prevent spammers from posting 
messages through their servers, I often ignore posts from Google Groups. 
You'll need to use a real news reader if you want me to see your posts.
