No, it is so much better. I immediately found you text, especially
because above "This is worse", it said "- show quoted text -". So, if
I am following this thread, then I do not even have to see what you
are replying to.

glird,

Just type something and hit reply. Don't put any ">", or "<", or "><"
in your response. Just go to what you are responding to, hit return to
start a new line and type.

Or sometimes like this:
glird: Accordingly, since "mass" denotes "a quantity of matter", and
since the aetheric mode of matter has no weight, a gram is the WRONG
unit of measure of mass.

In any event, when I clicked on the google page you recommended, it
did want me name and password -- which I do have and filled in -- and
then opened exactly the same page I'd previously opened without going
that route.

So, mpc, thanks again for the advice, but ....
