Y'welcome.
While we are at it, there was a quote by Arthur Gordon Webster
that ended along the lines of
"... first, last and all the time: THINK"
I know I made a note of it while at my previous workplace.
Can't find it now, neither in my files nor via Google, so if anyone
recognizes it, I'd appreciate if they could post a link.

I had forgotten that. Into my sig file! Thanks!

Evidently not. He clearly didn't click "show options" before replying.
Not caring about what one's options are isn't swift.

I assume "comp.soft-sys.matlab" is missing from the end of that line.
When he figures out how to use groups.google, comment won't be needed.
Until then, it wouldn't be helpful.

Why ought I not be? I speak sooth. I'm not an other-directed* follower.

Well, you need to set it up correctly. For some reason, gogle
defaults to sort the threads after the starting date of the thread.
You have to actively select an option to sort them after the
last posts submitted.

There are a couple of other nags as well, but as you say,
given what you pay for getting access...

Thank you everyone. I found the site, but its in a funny kind of language,

So Google now has *TWO* positive references ;)
OP could not evidently view posts.
I, with "non free" access, could.
I still claim 'you get what you pay for' ;}

Not that I want to depreave Jerry of this honour (let alone count
myself
as competent at anything remotely relevant or useful), but goggle
*does*
work. Since it started working in almost real time a couple of years
ago,
it is tending towards becoming practical. The downside is that one
needs
a valid email address to sign on to an account, and that the email
address
is publicised when posting.
