That is, new messages in reverse time order since the last batch I read so threading is more or less irrelevant. If a conversation is interesting, I'll remember it from one message to the next. If it isn't, it doesn't matter and threading won't make it better. Anyway, that means I generally see edited messages before the originals so even though they seem a little strange on a mail list it is not a big problem. I think the forum has attracted a few people that weren't familiar with mail list etiquette but I'm not sure that's a bad thing. I'd rather see people able to ask for help even if they haven't first learned the exact procedure you want them to use. -- Les Mikesell les...@gm... |
