<PRE>>><i> This is because someone is receiving mailing list in "digest" chunks
</I>>><i> once a day, instead of all emails as they arrive. And they answered
</I>>><i> that digest. Nobody is trying to fork the thread,
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> It is a "feature" of mailing lists.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Yes, but it is a not a feature using digests and answering with a one

</I>><i>
</I>><i> wobo.

As with most mailing lists/discussion groups, the message re: bottom/top
posting and citing only what is being answered and not all the message,
should be repeated on a regular basis to users. There is a constant flux
of people appearing on the list and some are new to this process. Some
users are not first-language English speakers as well and may have a
problem interpreting these directions.
