Thanks. This must be it. Although I do not score threads, I *do* score down certain posters and subjects. I never realized it was ending up in *.ADAPT files, although I never actually gave it much thought. What I do not understand though is - some messages in summary buffers are shown in bold, with '+' sign to the left. I could never figure out on what principle those messages were selected. I assumed that that was the result of that adaptive scoring which I didn't know why was going on. If it is - why? I never raised any scores :) Or am I missing something obvious again? > All of this isn't documented in the manual so it seems as a > documentation bug. -- Cheers, -Dima.
