Thanks, Geoff, for the glimpse into the past. I always wondered if my recollection that I liked the old Mudcat more was correct or was due to selective forgetting of disagreable threads. I now know I can trust my memory here. The percentage of threads that interests me was much higher in 1998. The choice of threads was getting worse from the start of 1999 on and in 2000 I don't see much difference to today.Wolfgang
