Not follow up, reply. /* ---------- */ I agree completely that this is much to be preferred; however, there are machines whose (sorry about the anthropomorphism, but there's no corresponding adjective for "which" in English) users are free to post notes, but unable to send mail--no, I don't understand why, either. I wish to propose that discussion be started on a news (or better still, notes)-like program that suffers less from hardening of the categories than news or notes: what sort of interface it should present to the user, etc. James Jones
