One positive is at least the OP recognises how old the original message
was. :-)

Dreffed, if you don't mind, could you please tell us how you managed
to come across this old message in the first place ?

It might give some insight into the replies to really old messages
we sometimes see around here and in some other newsgroups as well.

Thanks,

Simon.
