I was posting here because this is where I was posting way back when.  My 
e-mail back then was tha### [at] nwlinkcom; googling using the above technique 
didn't produce any results, "site:news.povray.org craig reed" gave me the 
original post in this thread.

I can't recall when my first post was; I'm reasonably certain I made no 
posts after 11-19-1999 until march of this year . . . . .

A nifty little trick; hadn't thought of that. Thanks. Works for me!  (Of
course, I only started posting in the newsgroups in 2005 or so.)
