You mistakenly assume that all postings appear promptly, if at all. They do
not. Some do not appear at all until 12 or more hours later, when you have to
access "Google Search" to read them all. So, try not to be so "****ed" when
someone asks a follow-up question.

I had just answered this question (in this discussion thread I believe)
a day or two ago, and someone immediately asked the same question again,
obviously without reading anything that had been posted recently here.
I just ignored it, but I can see where someone would be ****ed about a
question being asked again when it was *just* answered.

I wasn't ****ed about it, I was suggesting a reason notbob might have
been gruff in his message.

It does get discouraging when people don't read what was posted. Like
in the message that you replied to (so I know you saw it) where I said
"I just ignored it". Or earlier today when I said, "Perhaps it didn't
make in onto your server, or there are 2 threads with the same subject
(which happens sometimes.) It's not a big deal to me, I just was
defending nb for being exasperated."

Best regards,
Bob
