I think it would be improved if it was easier to follow threads. So that rather than having a list of 25 possible matches to my keyword, and going back and forwards to this list, I could examine a thread in full if it looked like it might be interesting. I would like this feature as I can see threads that start with something specific (such as a Zip drive) wandering into a more gerenal discussion (such as removable drives) where I might not otherwise think to search again. - JonT -- Jonathon Earnshaw Tidswell <jont@mpce.mq.edu.au> Postgraduate Student, Department of Computing School of Mathematics, Physics, Computing and Engineering Macquarie University, NSW Australia 2109 --- Disclaimer: I think my thoughts are my own, and I believe my writings are too.
