Er, sorry maybe my fault on that one. I was commenting on the posts way 
 down this thread about loudness and hearing loss, but I kinda
 didn't want it to get lost in the mayhem so I started a new sub-thread.
If readers had not read those posts about hearing loss, then my post, 
 and the replies, would appear to be off the topic. 
My bad. Should have responded to those posts only.

Personally I don't mind if a thread which I started begins to wander off. 
It's all good. As long as someone learns something or some new tidbit 
 of useful info emerges, or we just have a good chuckle, I'm OK with it. 
Hope y'all are, too !
It's a pleasure to rap with all the people out there and read all the
 interesting ideas and opinions which come back.

But yeah, watch out for the CC'ing it's so easy to accidentally mess up the 
 intended replies depending on what mail client you use.
I try to only CC if the message is important or personal enough that the 
 targeted CC should see it as soon as possible, sooner than the list.

Tim.
