It may be there until the space it occupies is needed

for another message - that is the newest in pushes the

oldest out. If that is the way they have it set up, then

your question cannot be answered quantitatively.

Thanks for your comment, FTR. However, you speculate! <wink>

 

Does anyone know the answer? Simply curious is all.

I won't participate in web forums even if they're not

really forums but only usenet web interfaces.

It's hard to know who to trust, and you shouldn't base

trust on the alphabet soup in someones signature block.

You get a feel for who to trust after taking the time to

read various posts.

 

....and even this is no guarantee

Thank you FTR.

 

An interesting read. It also reminded me of the word 'Binaries' - an expression which I simply could

not recall when making a post recently! style_emoticons/

It is most kind of you to seek out such items for my review, FTR. Thank you!

 

Interesting comment there from Joseph, viz
