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,

And thanks to all of you who waste more bandwidth trying to keep threads in alignment and NOT on the main purpose of this list...........
