That message was probably a mistaken one from me.  I had composed a 
reply but through some mental glitch had to re-do it.  I managed to send 
it with the only quoted thread but not the reply I had wanted to 
include.  So I added my reply and sent it again.  It was probably 
confusing, and I'm sorry about that.
