I think you are right thinkpadx. I have a flag to a purpose. I will be more attentive and disoption the signature when I am posting in threads where I know that they are already aware or for repeated posting.

Thank you for signalling an unpleasant thing, that obtains the opposite result. I might take the flag away altogether.
