RE: Buddy boxes and functions.
We're sorry that we didn't get back to you in the day and a half before you made your second posting. We can't always get to replies right away. Putting a second posting removes the zero from the number of replies column. That's how we know a reply has not been made. We look for the zeroes. Once it's gone, we assume we've replied.
This FAQ applies to the 9C, too.
