"On 8/27/2014 9:17 AM, John Bain wrote:> I am trying this new format out to see if it works better and is easier > > On 8/27/2014 9:16 AM, John Bain wrote: >> I am trying this new format out to see if it works better and is easier >> >> On 8/27/2014 9:15 AM, John Bain wrote: >>> >>> I am trying this new format out to see if it works better and is easier >>> On 8/27/2014 9:14 AM, John Bain wrote: >>>> Ask your question to our community of users >>>> >>>> On 8/27/2014 9:01 AM, John Bain wrote: >>>>> >>>>> I am trying this new format out to see if it works better and is >>>>> easier"
