But I'm puzzled. I was the first reply to Jim's post and
suggested the filter sequence that got me there in a few
seconds.

Actually, Joel Koltner's reply preceded yours by about 10
minutes, and
your filter sequence:

I didn't see JK's reply. Still can't. Most probably because he
posted it in the binaries group which my newsserver doesn't do.


"Products - Switches - DP3T - Slide - DP3T - etc"

was flawed.

If you say so. Ordering from Digikey and Mouser is not a
practicable option for me, so I only use them occasionally for
reference. I reasoned that, if _I_ could locate the part in a
matter of seconds, those of you who can use them regularly as
sources would need only a pointer in the general direction
without detailed instructions. Seems I was wrong.


even pointed out a suitable slide switch as an example. The
filter sequence has been discussed at length but no one seemed
to
notice my post. Made me wonder if I'd been killfiled by
everyone.

I'm sure you haven't been killfiled by anyone, being as
non-offensive
as you seem to be and, since not having a post be replied to is
common
(almost de rigueur) on USENET, you'll just have to grow a
thicker
skin.

Oh, I'm not that sensitive. I've been around Usenet for over a
decade, long enough to know what it's like. My comment about
killfiles was meant as a figure of speech.

Also, be prepared for the eventuality that when you post a
perfect
solution for someone what you'll get in return is perfect
silence.

I've seen that happen many times. But on most such occasions, the
OP is usually someone who drops in just to ask the one question
and then goes away again indefinitely, not a veteran like JT.
