That's one option Bel.. but in this case, Connie had already posted, so her "post" will be between mine and yours.. i can go back and click on any post...

this is were the differences between "flat" and "threaded" come into play.

i read "flat", but i tend to post threaded.. I go back to the post i want to respond to to, and click on it..

this means, i can ignore, or not reply to certain post that upset me. you should try threaded.. you might not like it.. but it will give you a better understanding.. One "way" of tracking threads in the in the subject.. while they still can be changed in threaded mode, they will tend to keep the subject (or something closely related to the original) subject.
