Jay - if you have a way of doing it, I find it helpful to sort 
by subject and reading posts both prior and after the one you 
might be looking at if you are jumping in in the middle.  For
instance in addition to evidently missing my posts subsequent to
the one you replied to on Saturday, perhaps you missed John E.'s 
post, let's see - way back on January 19th, two days after I 
opened this topic (at the top here for your convenience) where 
he tested the current behavior.
