James, hi:

You are not the only one to be "baffled" - I'm sure your concern makes some kind of sense, but I can't understand what the problem is, from your post. Perhaps you could re-phrase and elucidate a bit? 

Sorry if I seem dense, but I can't even parse what you are getting at here... Or has my mail client suddenly lost its threading capabilities, and this forms part of some continuing discussion of which I'm unaware?

Peter,  puzzled...
