I think Gordon reads the last post (or the earlier posts age off very
quickly
for his newsreader).

He likes to see the original question and response when he reads these
messages.




In reasonably high volume groups, I set my reader to Unread messages
only......otherwise I would be continually wading through huge numbers of
read posts in order to see the unread ones....and anyway, it's usenet
convention to quote the post(s) you are replying to.......
