Hi Richard,
It would be rilly rilly swell if you could leave in your message an indication of the person to whom you are replying. Like I did with your text above. When I replied, I left the relevant part of your message in this email. You'll notice that everyone on this does that. Otherwise, the rest of us have no idea to whom you are replying. Indeed, it looks like you are talking to yourself, rather than having a conversation *with* others on the list.
Thank you.
