I have an idea that may save bandwidth; Next time this comes up lets just
post the appropriate step since we know what they are. For example:
Lister A Posts: "Step 1."
Listers B through J post: "Step 2."
Listers K through O post: "Step 3."
You get the idea. It would save a bunch of time and we've all heard it
before and nothing changes.
Soapbox mode off.
