Barry, I don't intend to prolong this thread longer than necessary, but your
ruling re. distinguishing new threads from on-going ones is noted.
Given that, in some cases, screen readers are not necessarilly picking up the
subject as you quickly skim through messages, to have a line that says simply
'thanks' or whatever, leaves you wondering, 'thanks for what?' It was a waiste
of time reading it too, and maybe not even the person who the thankyou is meant
for actually knows it is they who are being thanked!
Sometimes I wonder if common, recurrent questions couldn't be put in the common
list space, if we have any on Freelist, or put up on a website somewhere.
Maybe that's another thread, (smile).

| Hiya.

| I fully agree with Rays remakrs on sending a thank you mail off the list to
| the person/persons that helped you out witha topic if you believe it's
| appropriate.
|
| Thankfully we're not anywhere near bad at this on here. but it is something
| to keep in mind.
|
| The argument used to be for peopel on dial up and how logn it takes to
| download the mails and the percentage of people being on dial up is getting
| lower and lower. So even if you don't consider the dial up folks consider
| it's more clutter on the list and in the list archives to have a bunch of
| thank you's or I agree's.
|
| I'm not trying to come back and lay down the law.
|
| It's a few things to keep in mind is all.
