Ken,
I disagree.
As someone who uses nested email options on Gmail and Outlook it causes
great problems if the email has the same title yet different forked
conversations.
Email has changed since the PHD-DESIGN group was formed, and so the way the
group is conducted should also change.
On one post recently Don and others took the thread in one direction, and I
and others took it in a different direction.
Forking of posts is normal these days, and is not considered the same as
going off topic. The use of WAS after the new title makes it clear what
thread the fork took place on.
Regards,
Jonathan Bishop
