Hey,
  Responding to digests breaks threading, so you need to add the
subject and some context for your response to make sense and for it to
be noticed by those following the thread you are trying to participate
in.

Hope this helps,
cheers,
Owen.


Thanks for the admonition!

The original comment (the whole of Vol 51, Issue 3, - No Title) complained of the appearance of a black screen instead of the desktop on startup of v8.10.
