I'm really enjoying reading the invigorated list, even though my
interest in WA is somewhat limited and I don't even live in WA (although
I do visit at least once a year). And being able to send attachments is
a big plus compared to Rootsweb.
But I'd like to ask a favour of those members who do contribute
regularly. Each time a new conversation (that is, a new topic) is
started, could it be done as a new email with an appropriate subject
heading? That is the norm for all email mailing lists. In other words,
if you have a new topic, create a new email, don't hijack an existing
conversation and just change the subject heading. This would makes the
archives much easier to browse and, more importantly, it makes reading
through messages in conversation form very much easier.
The screen grab attached shows what can happen now -- 20 or so messages
in 4 or 5 different conversations all threaded as *one *conversation.
How much easier it would be if each conversation were shown in its own
thread, especially for those who like to read through one conversation
at a time.
Plea all finished!!
