No! You're smart, and have great one or two liners. They'd be easier to
read, etc. if they immediately followed whatever it is you're commenting
upon.

Also, it makes the sig delimiter work; my news client automatically
chops whatever's below the delimiter.

What your newsreader does is your problem.

Isn't that what you are doing already?

I've never seen any quoted text in your posts here (not that I care,
I just tick uparrow to see what you are responding to if I need to).

No filters set up. Interesting that Joan's links to image
stabilization did not produce the desired thread, and I don't believe we
are using the same news server -- I have news.sf.sbcglobal.net. Was
looking for one that started on 6/22/1625 by Michael M and there was
another msg from Daniel on 6/23/0745 (Don't know if in NG's the times
are my local times as they are in mail, or time posted.)

At any rate that thread was needed to learn something of image
stabilization, and via the various links to threads on Joan's findings I
believe the subject is well covered. Thanks all of you for the assist!

The way the times are displayed depends on how the news reader is
designed to display them. At least with my newsreader the time is
based on my computer's clock, which I discovered once when I had
changed the date and inadvertently failed to reset it. This time
along with the local time zone information is included when messages
are posted. If someone in G.B. posts a message at 7:00 pm (their
local time), my newsreader will show the time as either 3:00 pm or
2:00 pm, depending on whether Daylight Savings Time is or isn't in
effect. The actual time can be seen in the message headers, and the
way it's presented varies. Your own message that I'm replying to
shows these time headers:

> NNTP-Posting-Date: Sun, 15 Oct 2006 13:58:14 EDT
> Date: Sun, 15 Oct 2006 17:58:14 GMT

and other messages sometimes display the local time in the headers
with a GMT offset as in this example from another message:

You're welcome, from all of us, even Joan . . . I think.

Interesting the headers here do not read the line NTTP-Posting-Date nor
does the time line read GMT -- presumably you are on the EC of the
States? I'm using Thunderbird and the ISP is AT&T using Yahoo's
servers for mail and I believe for NG's as well.

Yes, I'm located in the EC of the States. The NNTP-Posting-Date
header (and I suppose its exact format) should vary from message to
message. What you see depends on the newsreader client that was
used to create the messages. Check several messages and you'll
quickly see how non-uniform the headers are. If all the headers
were produced by your ISP and your Thunderbird, then the date
components you see in the headers would be uniform. At least that's
the way I understand it. Check the headers of your own messages.
The one of yours that I'm replying to has this in the header:

> NNTP-Posting-Date: Mon, 16 Oct 2006 02:00:45 EDT

Unless I'm mistaken, you should also see this.

Guess it must depend upon the originator's individual server or ISP. In
this thread the entry is seen for msgs from McWilliams, Miles, and
Daniel; but not for Joan, Kerby, x211s and your msgs.
