Threading is very important and desirable in a *support* list, especially one which is archived/searchable. It provides the means to find answers to problems immediately, without waiting for someone on the list to repeat a previously discussed issue, and, perhaps, flame you for not attempting the research yourself. Broken threads make that research *very* difficult. It's like someone tearing several random pages from a research book and placing them in different locations or just destroying them.
Have you ever read a mystery book and found that the last 3 or 4 pages were missing?
Amen to that! Thanks to Patrick for reminding the real reasons to avoid and fight broken threading!! Ciao, Marco Fioretti -- Marco Fioretti m.fioretti, at the server inwind.it Red Hat for low memory http://www.rule-project.org/en/ There is more to life than increasing its speed. -- Mahatma Gandhi
