Not meaning to take sides, but I myself don't keep up with threads; I deal with a message, then toss it and the related messages. If another message comes in two hours later, I expect context, or lacking that, am willing sometimes to go find the archive if I need a reminder for my short-sighted Quick-On-the-Delete-button habit. It's understandable that a newbie posting will expect others on the list to remember him and his posts, even if they're only two minutes old. (After all, they're important to the poster, so they _must_ be important to others also.) But even so, that expectation is wrong and rude. -- Kent West Westing Peacefully <http://kentwest.blogspot.com> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
