Alie,

Gene was actually replying to your post, in which he could not read your
comments because you put them below his sig in the post to which you were
replying, so his mail software removed them.  You did the same thing again
in this post to which I'm replying, so I expect he can't see your comments
(again).

It's difficult for the rest of us to read your posts, too, because not only
do you copy the entire post to which you're replying without trimming
anything (not even the sig), but you copy it without using a 'quote'
function, so one has to scroll carefully down through the whole thing and
try to sort out where the post ends and your comments start.

If you want your posts to be easy to read, stick to standard practices:  Use
your mailer's quote function, and trim out any quoted text not directly
relevant to your comments.
