#R:looking:-16600:uicsg:34000001:000:459 uicsg!benson Jul 11 10:28:00 1984 While we're on the subject... If you feel you have to post an answer to a question, PLEASE post it as a response to the original note, NOT as a new note with the title 'Re: so and so'. This way if a new response comes up for a note to which we've already seen the answer we can skip the note and all responses 'in a single bound', and not have to wade through note after note of boring answers.

I get the feeling that us 'notes' users are in the minority, since I here a lot about 'n' keys, and that's not the key I use to jump to the next note. I really only agree with Tim in principle since I read all responses anyway because sometimes the subject changes after 8 or 10 responses.
