The message
from Dave contains these words:

I realise you are a newbie, any chance you and your colleagues on
gardenbanter can see how to connect your reply to the existing dialogues
and not set up new threads every time? You might not be aware this is
happening :-)

I think this must be a peculiarity of Turnpike - threading's perfectly
normal here.
