So, (In response to this and your other post....)
on RTL I am at about 90000. At present there are some threads
to which the originating post does not yet appear. So, let's
assume the one I have is 90000, and the original arrives a
few days later, with the 200 or so other posts picked up during
that time. Would the original post, which has taken its time,
be listed as 90201, or 89999?? I think that you are saying
the former.
BTW, thanks for the header translation, I know what most of the
stuff there is, but had always wondered about that what looked
like gobbledegook!!
