Thanks, Barbara. I'll be going through CSS tutorials in the
next day or two, and see if I can wrap my mind around this.
We won't need to complete the integration of CSS into Marx
markup for awhile, as it does everything we need at present.
But it would be nice not to make too many blunders when we
do. LOL A little knowledge is a dangerous
thing--emboldening, sometimes, but dangerous.

I'll look into that. Seems I'm regularly having to toss out
sigs manually when I reply to posts. Your post, for example,
had the -- and the sig fully intact and quoted, and I had to
delete it along with other portions of the text which didn't
need repeating, so I don't understand the problem--unless OE
has a problem on /both/ the receiving and transmitting end.
I though such need for manual deletions was just a fact of
posting life.
