Iggy here:

Actually, I do something similar to what you do.  Since I use Microsoft
Outlook, I read all the threads I'm interested in, and flag anything I
might want to reply to as I go along.  After I'm done with reading all
the letters, I go back and work on replies to what I've flagged.

Also, since I have my mail program set to check my mail every five
minutes when I'm on line, I can see if a new reply has come in while
I've been typing mine. I've found that this helps in preventing
duplicating someone else's post.  (Of course, on a list like this, no
technique is 100% effective...)
