[PRCo] Re: Messages

[John F Bromley]

I agree, so many awaited me this morning that most were dumped without
reading, most from Jim and responses to all those (sorry, don't mean to be
nasty to insomniacs - can't you just put it in ONE message?).  Also, it is
so easy to just use the "reply" button that everyone sends the original
messages back and forth nuymerous times, each getting more fragmented by >>>
all the time, to the point where it is tough to understand what the response
is to.

I do this as well (slap, ow, that hurt).  Maybe we should not allow use of
the "reply" key but insist everything start off with a new message and make
people type in the subject.  I know that will discourage me slightly.

What think ye all?
