Thats one way of looking at it. However, you seem to imply that to thread a topic the date and subject line are sufficient. Yet, we both know that people love to wander off in different directions using the same subject line. It seems that we need stronger criteria for what constitutes a topic in order to have meaningful topic threads. The difference between your point of view and mine is a matter of syntax vs. semantics. Got another riddle? 8) Cheers, Amancio >From The Desk Of Terry Lambert : > > >From The Desk Of Terry Lambert : > > > In any case, a known date stamp and Subject line should be enough > > > to thread most data correctly. > > > > Wrong ! > > either can be use for a search criteria and thats about it in this mailing > > list. > > > > Gosh, I am getting high from whatever you were smoking 8) > > Then riddle me this: > > How can I reply to a message with a date stamp earlier than the > original message? > > It seems to me that threading would be implicit. > > > Terry Lambert > terry@lambert.org > --- > Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present > or previous employers.
