>>Anyhow FWIW -- the only problem with 'see entire thread' is the limit of 60 (?) messages -- which sometimes means you really can't get anything out of it, if its a popular thread (especially if a bunch of extraneous stuff gets put into the thread that doesn't really belong there).

This way, if a thread really is too long, we can pick the interesting parts in the end, to see who won the game :).

Hi Dragan:
Haven't yet tried the UT navigator -- just use native Netscape... Maybe I should. And, yeah, I do understand putting a limit on the thread size, and I had planned to suggest just what you did, when I logged in this morning. We seem to be thinking alike lately... Now if I could just get some of your smarts on the technical stuff... Well, that's why I hang out here.
Thanx.
Rob
