RtS, I tried posting the same table using Internet Explorer. The same thing happens that you noted - the numbers and columns do not "hold their position" when posted.

That is a "bummer". A lot of people use Internet Explorer. At least on SI, the person using IE can hit the reply button and get the data to "line up". Here it apparently does not work.

I like this format better because the table comes up when using Netscape in single space. SI has done something so that using fixed font double spaces everything. I have written to them about the problem(others have as well), but so far there has been no response.

I will see if I can do further research or ask IH about the issue.
