Joe and all, I think you summed it up rather nicely. Well done! >;) !Dr. Joe Baptista wrote:

Am I missing posts? Or are people just copying fragments of personal conversations back to the list?
As someone kindly pointed out privately, the missing posts contained traces of Dr Baptista in the headers, and were consequently suppressed by my kook filter. Keith forgot to reply to all, and his message slipped through.
Sorry about the noise.
I predicted this would happen with filters. When you filter people you should expect to miss a few posts here and there. Unfortunately people who filter always end up asking the question "am i missing something" much as Mr. Abley has done here. This unfortunately does raise the noise level just a tad.
One rule of thumb I use is that if I filter someone I should always expect to "miss a few posts" here and there. So I always ask the question "Am I missing posts" privately to the person posting so I don't look foolish later. Filtering is always guranteed to cause a few missing posts here and there.
