Perhaps you are a member of a ping list, and when the list of recipients gets so long not all the names in that list appear in a post . . .

(In fact, if you see three dots " ... " at the end of the "To" listing, then not all names are shown.)

In fact, if you see three dots " ... " at the end of the "To" listing, then not all names are shown. Methinks the proper term for such punctuation is "ellipsis," you know, if you care or something...

Thanks CJ, you have described the situation correctly - a number of recipients followed by an elipsis.

On further inspection I can also see that all these posts are from the same Freeper, who was part of my first thread, so clearly I'm on his ping list. I had not been observant enough to notice that before.

In a way this fact is another piece of input to the original subject of this thread - a Freeper noted my interest in a particular subject and has pinged me to all his threads on the same subject since then. I'd call that a pretty helpful and welcoming thing to do, even if I was not savvy enough to recognize it!

Thanks again CJ for helping me "de-bug" this one.
