Looks like it happened again :-)
This post shows up in my newsreader as being part of the thread about
Evaluating a String Expression.

In this case you should have used Reply tonyour original message
then it would have been added to that thread.

The reason this is important (from the posters point of view) is that if
your message goes into the back of an existing thread many readers
may not bother looking at it since they have lost interest in the older
thread. If you want your message to be seen post a new thread for a
new topic, and reply to an existing thread when deakling with that topic
(so  that only those following the thread need to read that one).
Its a win-win scenario :-)
