It gets difficult to read CCC because half of the posts are flames or answers to flames etc. On the other side. If you discuss a particular problem, then there are often more posts necessary. And also, there are some nice people, who take much time to help stupid people like me over problems, and they need a lot of posts. I believe, you want one specific person to post less. But it is not good to cut the whole group because of one person. Werner
