Indeed "There you go again."! Please don't go down the same belittling
path again. *I* don't consider the sequence of events a problem, i.e.
also not how things were posted/threaded/read, but *you* did. I just
explained how readers would see your postings and how you *could* have
prevented them seeing the flame first and the good one later, if that is
what you wanted. As I said, I read all posts before responding, so none
of this applies to me, and I can understand why XS11E reacted to your
flame, whether he saw only the flame or also the good post.
