Ken, you may not have meant it, but your "expectations" comment strikes me
as more than a just a little condescending.

Well, I got Adrienne Smith's message both privately and on the list twice.
So that to which I'm responding shouldn't strike a list member as an
earth-shattering mystery.
>You use ">". Are you a replying to a previous post?
No, I just made the whole thing up. Not. You didn't just get YOUR computer
for Christmas, did you?
>If so, where is the "Re:" and/or "Was (..." in the Subject line?
The thread to which Adrienne responded was "Re: What does it take to loose
weight: was Re: sweet potatoes." Since Adrienne's message addressed
something very specific, I thought it might be better to respond to her post
by way of a new thread name given both the topic and the already-long title.
But apparently that's a cardinal sin.
