That's okay.  A normal conversion is by nature organic, changing over
the course of time.

There's a sister mailing list called X4U that might be more appropriate
to ask "non-newbie" questions.  But the people on this X-Newbies list
who have participated in this discussion may not all be on the X4U list.

In any case, standard netiquette dictates that when a conversation has
changed so it no longer matches the "Subject:" line, one should change
the "Subject:" line appropriately.  This helps other list members to
easily and quickly identify the topic of the discussion, and helps them
to decide whether to join the discussion or delete the thread.

Windoze users are not interested in helping out Mac users.  In a sense,
we Mac users help our own.  Benvenuto!  :-)
