Andy, I believe that Patrick replied to Scott Meisenholder, not you, and it's apparent that your post, at least from a quick glean at the archives, did indeed contain said backtrace. The real culprit in this drama of the Queen's English and proper and decent email quotation is in this case said Meisenholder. He did not include a quote of what he was replying to, making the post itself almost unreadable to a person that does not have the time nor the inclination to sift through the entire archive just to discern what the reply is a reply to. On a different note, excellent reply. You should not be discouraged from asking for further advice or help from this list. We've seen an upsurge of apparent list rule violations lately; mainly where people reply to messages without including a quote of the original post, nor the name of the original poster. I don't know if that's pure laziness or petulence, but they should all be flogged in any event. A punishment that also comes into mind would be to butcher the criminal before or after a bloody execution and thereafter nail the body parts to a pole or beam, or a wagon wheel attached to said pole, and place them outside the city wall. What we Swedish language marauders call "stegling." I could not find an English translation to this classical Medival punishment, perhaps somebody can enlighten us.
