Still more convenient than having to double-click each message just to
view it, then close each window when you are done. And many Usenet
clients let you easily collapse quoted material so that's not an issue.

It's sorted with the oldest at the top. The post you were after was the
third post, chronologically. At the time you posted, yours was the
seventh post. Yours, on the other hand, was sorted such that old and new
posts were seemingly intermingled. Anyhow, the point you're avoiding is
it would have been very easy for you to find what you were looking for.

And had you simply looked at the previous posts, you would have quickly
learned you were wrong.

Of course. I'm just not as completely helpless in that situation as you
*claim* to be.

I'm sure there are many programs you don't currently use. Not sure what
point you are trying to make.
