Should it not give three elements, there being two slashes?

If arrTest[0] is not really a string, but is actually a link element,
then arrTest[0].protocol might give "http:".

OP: DO NOT MULTIPOST - see Wikipedia,

It's a good idea to read the newsgroup c.l.j and its FAQ. See below.

Yes, that is what I wrote (or at least demonstrated) in my reply.

Is there a time lag that means that replies don't always get read ?

It is the nature of Usenet that there are wildly varying posting time-lags,
and even absence of arrival on or early removal from a specific
news-server.

> that means that replies don't always get read ?

A time-lag is not even needed for that,
the fact itself being a fact in fact:

Replies don't always get read.

Which should not be an excuse for replying
that you did not read the above.

LOL

Re your reply
Thanks I have often noticed posts being completely ignored and wondered why
