Hi,

I sincerely appreciate the effort of all the people who are taking all the time and effort to send the Questions for the benefit of others.

However I feel it provides better readability to have single mail for 10 different questions rather than having 10 mails for 10 different Questions. Also it helps in referring back the Question if we have to.

I agree that Scoretop follows this pattern, but that is a web based forum, and tracking and readability is more in it than a mail forum.

Please let me know if others feel otherwise.

Thanks once again for the effort to enlighten us with so many questions.

Regards,

Biswajit
