Your problem is that you make these isolated weird posts-- like this
one. If you kept your problem to a single thread by entering a reply
on a single thread, there is a chance somebody might actually follow
what you are talking about.

I think Cal's point was that starting new threads rather than keeping it as
replies in the same thread makes it very hard us to follow the events/relate
it all back to the original problem and the advice offered. Both Cal and I
post in numerous threads every day. Keeping track of the context and history
of a given problem is vital for us to have a chance to help. Use of a common
subject like "money 2003" aggravates this problem for those of us using
newsreaders to access the group since LOTS of threads aggregate there.
Without including any snippets from the trail that led you here--read some
other threads to see the various ways people do this--we just don't
appreciate the significance of a report that "X causes Y" nor can we tell
exactly why X was even a question with no question stated.

It's not a question of you "bothering" us, just an issue of newsgroup
etiquette. We try to help. But we need some help to be able to help.
