Re: how 2 read posts properly

Hi Nicky. Yup, that brain fog can be a mess!! But can you explain

what you mean?? I do note that you are on NO EMAIL, which means you

can come straight to the site and read individual posts. Where is

the difficulty??

Until you clarify, I can tell you that once you get on the MESSAGES

page, where all the titles of the messages are, you can go to the

top left and click on EXPAND MESSAGES. That will show all the

message on that page WITH the body of the messages. Maybe that is

what you are needing??

The most recent post to a previous message is the first one you see on top. It

is in answer to the one under it and so on. Read what's under it from who to

see what that post was in answer to. The ones that I have a hard time with are

the ones that are posted without what they are answering to, and I'm scratching

my head, wondering what that was they were referring to or who they were

answering on what sbjct. However, sometimes that's done to save space and

kilobytes. If what they were answering to was very long, sometimes it's more

prudent to delete part of that message (to save space and repetition), but leave

enough of " the trail " , so that everyone and the recipient will know what that

answer was too. Sometimes you've just got to be more detailed, or the essence

of the post is lost, but other times discretion says that we need to " clip " the

previous post. Sometimes, I have a tendency to orate, lol!
