No no, I understood that problem fine. Rick was describing two issues. 
That 
one plus a technical problem where the poster DOES change the subject, yet 
for some reason Rick sees the old subject anyway. Notice how in my mail I 
edited out all the stuff related to people who don't change the subject, 
and left in just the stuff related to the technical thing? I thought that 
would make it clear what I was replying to....

(that's another skill some of you need to work on, editing the original 
post to just the related points, instead of recopying the whole damn thing 
to write two lines on the top....what a waste of bandwidth that is.)
