and you included a link to the peculiar archive at i-DEADLINK-com. So that 
there is no misunderstanding for new members, this is NOT "another" forum. 
You can read exactly the same message, with its tables PROPERLY formatted in 
the main archive for NavList located here:
  http://www.fer3.com/arc/m2.aspx?i=911&y=200009

The "other" archive at i-DEADLINK-com was created by someone who never posted 
and apparently never read more than a handful of messages (he did have an 
email address which was a "member" since that's how his archive received its 
messages). He used, and continues to use, his partial archive of the group's 
messages as a means of selling a few books. Every message has an ad at the 
top. I don't want to suggest that there's anything wrong with this, and it 
fulfilled a useful purpose for a few years --only that it's not something you 
need anymore, and if you want to see older messages properly formatted 
(usually!), searchable, and in the same context as current messages, then 
you'll find them at fer3.com/arc. There is also a partial archive maintained 
as part of the hosting service at googlegroups.com, but it's a bit quirky and 
we have no control over it, so I don't recommend it.

Paul, you noted:
"My tables are slightly mis-formatted on the web page." [at i-DEADLINK-com]

Yes, they are. And one advantage of having an archive which I can edit is that 
your message is properly formatted. Have a look (follow the fer3.com link 
above).

Finally, just to reiterate, go here 
  http://www.fer3.com/arc
to read over a decade of archived messages, read the latest messages in 
real-time, post new messages, reply to recent or archived messages, post 
messages with attachments, and post messages with very large "linked" files 
(equivalent to a file upload functionality). Also if you know someone who 
wants to ask a question on NavList but doesn't want to be a member, send them 
to this address. They can post as a non-member or post anonymously and decide 
whether to join later (many of our newer members have taken this route). And 
coming soon (sooner or later): formatted posts with proper equations, tables, 
and more (while still maintaining plain text equivalents for those with 
slower connections or other concerns about formatted messages).
