he/she/they did this same thing in a bunch of different NGs. (another useful use of dejanews author profile function! sorry, continuing my defense of the use of author profile!) they must have a lot of time on their hands. did seem kind of silly to summarize the thread contents in the same NG that one is already reading. or as my kids would say, duhhh! if you check out the url in the sig, it appears to be another browser-based method to access NGs, a dejanews wannabe, if you will. didn’t spend a lot of time looking at the site. > Have a great day! > Ernest
