Sheila--not that this may help, but I do often go back to the archives to
follow a thread before I respond to a particular posting.
Quite candidly, though, I do prefer this process to the other because it's
less linear and more reflective of an ongoing dialog as it occurs in a
group of groups.
regards,
Doc
