Whoever I posted to username was not valid anymore. I also put all in the original post. Corrected the bad username but forgot to just post to those who cared about the subject.
When posting to all it pings everybody on the thread. At one time posting to all here went out to every user, even those not on the thread. I think they fixed that.
