This does seem to be the worst list I follow for threading errors in general. Part of that is because this is also the most active list I follow. More activity means more potential to errors (user or client). Fortunately my email client has a thread manager that I can either join un-threaded messages or cut the off topic ones. Even with this thread manager sewing the messages of a thread back together is made difficult by posters who do include the sender and date time stamp of the message they are replying to. I hesitate to criticize these posters because many of them are great contributors to the list. -- iltaraho ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.
