Sorry to hear about that. Hope the medicine helps.

I got my shot when they first became available, and I'm becoming

It's funny because I had been considering getting a "shingles shot"
this year. I should have last year, I guess.
If the vaccine can prevent or even minimize an onset of shingles, I'd
recommend it to everyone as I am discovering what it's like to have
it. I'd describe it as more like torture that won't take a break.


My sympathies. Wish there was more I could do.

I can't understand something. Perhaps it's my news reader. When I hit the Reply button for almost
any message, the message to which I'm responding is quoted. However, this is not the case with your
messages. The only way my reply quotes you is if I copy and paste your message in the reply.

Any ideas?

The dashes he uses as a separator causes newsreaders to treat his
response as a sig line.
Sig lines usually aren't included in a reply. Maybe he wants it that way.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Didn't realize that. Does the upward arrows used in this reply as a
separator work? I use a separator because the most recent post to
which I am usually replying to does not have the traditional, single,
double, triple right facing arrows that identify a previously posted
quote.

Whatever you did this time worked. But last time it didn't. This is getting *really* weird.

On my ipad the dash separator makes the following look like the sig line,
where the new separator has dark print.

It's reading it in html. I post in text only. I am not sure what to
change, so I'll leave things alone.

It's not your separator alone. I think it's your separator in conjunction with mine, and when I try
to get rid of mine Agent says a 'persona' of 'none' won't work.

I'm not wild about this new, to me, Agent.

I tried "Agent" and "Thunderbird" years ago in their earlier
versions. I never saw any big benefit over the standard newsreader
that came with the various Windows mail and newsgroup packages.

I use "Windows Mail" on my Vista machine and "Windows Live Mail" on
the Windows 7 computer (this one). I have no problem reading
newsgroups and emails, I can filter by "Handle" or email address ...
or create custom filters. I see all the previous exchanges in a
thread and can delete or add anything to them. I can also sort the
treads by date, poster, conversation (which I use because it keeps all
posts on a subject together) or subject and can display in ascending
or decending mode by date. There are options to hide all read
messages, display all messages (including previously viewed ones)
and much more, including text only or html modes. I use text only
for newsgroups and html for email. . Once I determined the settings
I liked, reading newsgroups is as easy as reading emails.

I don't see any reason to use a "real" newsgroup reader like you hear
so many people talk about. Oh ... and I don't use a web based forum
like "Google" groups to read newsgroups.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I don't know. I tried something different here after reading Hank's
response to your question. My "reader" applies the arrows in
front of all previous quoted text *except* the most recent one to
which I am typically responding to. I was putting a series of
dashes to separate the most recent quote from my response. Hank
says that some newsreaders interpret the dashes as the beginning of a
signature line. Maybe that's the problem. I tried using upward
arrows as a separator in this response. If it fixes the problem, let
me know.

Here's another response. I'm thinking the separator prevents your post from being quoted if your
post is a direct response to mine. When you responded to Greg, and then I responded to that
response, I got the separators and the quote.

Weird.
