second the motion.  you couldn't even reply to Greg's request without
changing the subject header.

btw, Scott, I do a lot of reading... pretty much all in English.  I
can't even figure out if you are saying anything above (I suspect not). 
Makes me wonder what your content messages are like to read.

please, to make daily use of the list easier on the rest of us, don't
change the subject header unless you are actually changing the subject.
