Got them and thanks, David. You're very kind to go to all that trouble
and I'll show them to Ray. And no, that box doesn't look at all familar
but again, I'll check with him.

Not wishing to rude (well, not more than normal) but isn't this a
private email conversation rather than a newsgroup thread?

I'm so sorry if you feel left out, but a lot of my emails to Sachs are
getting lost in the ether so it is easier to link through the group.
So you don't miss to much, this is the orchid in question,


I do hope you don't feel so left out.

Why should I feel left out? I can get unsolicited messages everyday in
my email reader.

Besides, if you were less defensive - and not as desperate to show off
your cranky sarcasm in response to a perfectly reasonable question - I
think you'd conclude that the gist of my post was that I didn't really
want to see such posts.

Usenet is in effect, a 'many to many' service - not a private messaging
service.
