No offence at all, but you may be in the position of someone who doesn't like TiVo because it's not the way they are used to, or someone who doesn't see the need for a scroll wheel on a mouse.
Not at all. The position I'm in is that Google have made an email client which 'breaks' existing conventions for threading, and so it makes people (possibly unintentionally) take shortcuts, which work for them, but don't work for others.
I use GMail for list traffic because it presents a host of posts in an accessible manner, not because it works well with Outlook or whatever. Perhaps you should try it and see why I do this, and why others do the same thing.
I have a gmail account and indeed I used to use it to post to this mailing list. I prefer a dedicated email client, such as Thunderbird, however. I do agree that gmail displays it in an accessible manner, with some clever functionality. This, of course, can be achieved without breaking existing conventions.
In the meantime, please don't take shortcuts to start new threads. The post reply button is for exactly that, and nothing else! :)
