If you have a new subject - start a new thread rather than hijacking an old or current (different subject) thread. In fact even if your subject is the same as the subject of the thread the conversation may have drifted to the point that others have chosen to ignore the entire thread - starting a new one is the best option. This is not a web forum in the traditional sense where you would be asked to post within a preexisting topic structure laid out by the webmaster. Also, replying to a post from months ago probably won't help the person that made that post because that person has probably moved on by then (there is no webmaster to declare a subject as "dead" or "resolved" or whatever).

Thank you. You will recall this link which I posted for those very reasons: http://techhelpforum.net/virus-information/90006-t...es-dilemma.html What I had hoped was that Dan, or someone like yourself, would take the time to read, and comment maybe on all that had gone before ......... and is now but a muddle in my head! There's a clue in there somewhere though! I have a mission - and was/am looking for help and/or guidance. Additionally, it might just help others if they read the original thread. I do hope so anyway. Dave Quote

You get a feel for who to trust after taking the time to read various posts. ....and even this is no guarantee <span style="color:blue"> > Additionally, it might just help others if they read the original thread. > I do hope so anyway.</span> Information is a good thing! style_emoticons/) Quote
