Dick:
I like the "chronological reversed" setup, makes it easy to simply click on
"next" to read the oldest posting first, until one eventually catches up to date with all the newer postings.

Of course, to avoid clutter and keep the board meaningful for everyone, I still wish that people would use private e-mail for messages that are really of no interest to anyone else. We often read posts such as "I received the XYZ chip from you today, its very nice." That kind of message could be sent via e-mail, and avoid board clutter. If you are away from the board for several hours or even a whole day, its common to find 80 to 100 new, unread messages
when you return. That's great, its fun to read them, but the "personal" stuff of interest to only 2 people could be left off the board. Go ahead gang, jump all over me for saying that, but I'd bet at least a few people would agree.
