I know what inline replying is about, but the continuation of the
post, showing examples of the slots was after my post.

At no point in your post did you make any reference to my response to
Rik. Since all you did was respond to Rik's post, you should have
replied to his post. It's part of what threads are all about!!!

When I am able to, I do use a real newsreader. When I am unable to
make the necessary connections to a newserver, I have to make do with
Google Groups.
