I know that. I don't see how his subject line in any way interferes with
that question. But then, I don't have as such a strict interpretation of
the word "paid" as you appear to have.

Which, oddly enough, was my point.

I still think
that the original subject line could have been better worded in order to
elicit the information he required.

Hard to say, since it's still the weekend and many people haven't had a
chance to reply. But so far, he's gotten a few useful replies, one reply
that obviously misunderstood the post (but not the subject line), and one
that complained about the subject line. So far, most of us have not found
the subject line to be a problem at all.

Seems like, in spite of the usual low Usenet signal-to-noise ratio, he's
elicited some useful information, in spite of the subject line he used.

And I'm glad he did. Makes all this at-keyboards-drawn combat worth while in
the end.
