How the Bicycle Should Carry the Weight of the Cyclist

Anyone who was not born yesterday KNOWS that 1/3 of the weight is on the handle bars, 1/3 of the weight is on the saddle and 1/3 of the weight is on the pedals. This applies to uprights. Recumbents are entirely different which is why they are so damn comfortable. Regards, Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota aka Saint Edward the Great - Order of the Perpetual Sorrows - Minnesota |

A number of your "reply posts" appear as new threads, with no "Re." in the Subject field. Any idea why? Because I update thread titles to match the subject when thread drift occurs. However, many programs will still recognize previous posts in the thread, e.g. Mozilla Thunderbird provides a "references" line in the header, where the previous posts up-thread are numbered, and can be accessed simply by clicking on the number.

It seems Micro$oft is too arrogant to follow established protocols. -- Tēm ShermĒn - 42.435731,-83.985007 I am a vehicular cyclist. |

I purposely delete the signature separator on my Windows Mail because I want everyone to know exactly who I am. On some postings, the signature has a tendency to disappear if it has a separator. But what is the purpose of the signature separator anyway? Regards, -- Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota aka Saint Edward the Great - Order of the Perpetual Sorrows - Minnesota |

The trace for the thread is done at the top where you see the time and author. This way you can combine that with the marking for each poster (// or colored lines or whatever) and know who is speaking when there are multiple responses. |

No idea why they'd CHANGE the '' quoting convention, which worked fine in LiveMail until the 2011 "upgrade". I still think you should indicate that you're /replying/ to content in the Subject field, even if resorting to the ol' "Was: Tibetan Monkey Spams Newsgroups Relentlessly" (for example) shtick.
