Hi Yoshiki,

Yes, usually I attempt to do that as you'll see if you review my 
postings, although today might have been an exception.  However 
sometimes it is more expedient to have a quick reply. The problem with 
the longer replies is that sometimes people don't comment on them at all 
and you never get any feedback regarding their contents.

I guess it's a balance like most things in life.

All the best,

Peter
