Why should I wait patiently?
Give me one good reason.  Just One!

You call it childish for refusing to wait 1 or two seconds between 
every message for a slow overloaded server to respond, and suggest
I just shut up, sit down, and wait patiently at the keyboard for the
arrival of a screen of thousands and thousands of bytes complete
with avatars and icons when all I want to do is read the next message
in a thread?

In kmail, or any competent email package, I can zip through
entire threads, or flush them at will.  I can automatically apply
highlights and watches to specific posters and just as well
plonk others.

I can completely read threads without waiting for a 2 second 
response time between messages, and its all in my machine
when I sit down at the keyboard WAITING FOR ME, instead
of ME WAITING FOR IT.
