For Ghostiger:
As we still agree, the question is clumsily asked, however, if one bothers to put a modicum of effort into one's reply, one can to infer what the questioner means by 'mark.' I think Gonllguy had the right of it: mark, as in indication or flag, and "a" versus "the" per a few posts up, connotes the general sense, which Obi then confirmed a few posts later as his intended direction of inquiry.
As to the edit . . . not sure how or where we crossed posts there, nor what you are referring to, but your comment tells me that I certainly need to use the 'quote' function more often to separate what you posted from what I was contributing, and to ensure I mark what was edited. 'Twas careless of me not to, and in this case I must plead guilty to what Pete chided you for: an urgency to hit the Post button that overcame proofreading to ensure cohesive and coherent thought.
Preview is also my friend, when I bother to use it. :P
Edit: a couple of words disappeared, such as 'guilty,' so I had to put them back in.
