The net seems to be choked with articles with subject strings even worse than "Orphaned Response"! Are all these articles coming from the same machine or is some news software falling prey to malignant bit rot again? No offense to the posters, but I refuse to read articles that don't give a clue to what's in them (and I sure as hell can't remember all of the article id's!).
