Nobody lost a learning opportunity through missing the post I deleted, which posed a question that was already answered elsewhere in the thread.

Is it possible for me to get am email notice every time someone contributes to a thread I originated? I didn't see an option for that in the Settings.

Thanks to everyone who responded to this thread. You folks have been extremely helpful to me and I worry about trying your patience. I now have a script that appears to work and do what I wanted (though I'm still testing it).
