Why not , if you must write one liners, put it in the subject box followed by n/m? I agree that one liners can be annoying, but sometimes I only need one line to say what I want.

Now can we get off this thread as I think that everybody agrees and it's using up time that I could more profitably use in trying to find a supplier of electrically controlled valves to operate my CO2 system. BTW does anybody know of a cheap european supppliers of electrovalves?
