[Glastonbury] bits

[Rick Fitzsimmons]

And another thing...
Some people seem to "reply" to a message, then change the subject and 
start a new topic. Aaargh! If you display the list sorted by thread, new 
topics pop up in the middle of threads. Very unhelpful :-(

(This thread started as "My CUPS floweth not", then became "suse 
licence", then "bits" !)

And finally - do we prefer top or bottom posting? That question normally 
raises the temperature a bit...
