Don't be offended at this, Peter -- it's not intended -- but when you post could you use the 'Reply' button at the end of the thread in preference to the 'Quote' button on each post, unless there's a particular reason to have what the person has said replicated in your post?

Using 'Quote' as a matter of course the way you're presently doing adds considerably to the length of the thread (particularly if the original post contains graphics,) and it's generally not only needlessly duplicatory but also (for me at least) quite irritating, as I have to keep scrolling past a whole lot of stuff I've already just read.

Thanks, and cheers,

Mike

May be.
But I have to concur.
This first reply only confuses:

We all appreciate all replies, including yours, but quoting multiple images or huge long paragraphs really is unnecessary. This site is quite sophisticated technically, so just discover the right button to push ;)

Mike , I think you need to go over to Joes thread and tell him about securing his clew.

I think Mike, and several other folks on the forum, do not have DSL type service and the process is very slow and ties up the computer for long posts...
