He didn't initiate it, though; he attached it to an on-topic posting
about
Using Dial Up Modems on an HP3000 with DTC48's - as shown by:

Some of us are running mailer software smart enough to thread the
messages in HP3000-L; and even though it looks like Replying to an
existing posting, but deleting the contents and the Subject is the same
as starting a new message, it isn't.

It makes my mail software hide this Off-Topic stuff under perfectly
respectable headings. So there I was, looking forward to a 31-posting
thread on some lovely technical topic, and all I got was this misplaced
malthusiasm :-(

But conversely, if I had consigned the thread to the bit-bucket from
which there is no return, I would have missed Craig's exchanges about
ENTRY. Which, by the same method as above, no doubt, he had tacked onto
Denys' OT musings..

thereby potentially hiding his light under a Bush-el......

Hey guys - new topic, new posting please? Works better all round.... TIA
