No worries, you'll get it sorted out. Also note that you need to keep
proper attribution to who wrote what. If you notice you'll see that the
above "You appear to be..." was written by Steve. But because you didn't
include the attribution, as in mine of "On 11/16/2009 03:00 PM, thomas

Same as when you start a new email; create, send to
ubuntu-users at lists.ubuntu.com with a new subject. When you see a thread
(or a response to one in your own thread) then just reply; don't change
the subject etc.

You'll be just fine :-) Also have a look at:
<http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community/mailinglists/etiquette>
and that will give you some pointers on how/what. If you still need help
post back to _this_ thread & we'll try to assist.
