I'm betting your not using a threaded mail reader... Or you haven't
configured your mail reader to use it <grin> When I first joined this
list I wasn't using pines threaded format And I could see what you mean
by "stuffing everything down your throat" Now I separate my lists with
filters, and use threading... much better.
Exactly. A properly configured mail (or news) reader makes using many
forums much faster.
