No, it was an attempt to MODIFY what I said.  And if you had as many 
posts cancelled, without cause, as I have, you might enjoy a bit of that 
'paranoia' as well.

sorry, Ron, but the problem is /had not been trimmed correctly/ .

You are correct using the assumption most can't figure out how to do 
this and many don't want to bother since they a.) don't like to be told 
what to do or b.) won't break old habits.

Typhoid Bev, too bad you responded.  Nice knowing you, make sure
somebody reports back on your demise.  It's just common courtesy.
