Alla:

Steve, thank you SO much. I think I may just copy and paste your e-
mail and send it. Grrr. I did not know what to do yesterday - scream 
at my computer or just rolll my eyes. :)

Alla:

Yes, I just discovered this fact now. So, if I did not bookmarked 
the post I find useful, but have the message number, I cannot just 
go there anymore. Very helpful, NOT.


Steve:
5.) Message Numbers - Where are the message numbers on the Groups
Message List page? Again, in porn groups, who cares, but I'm a member
of a group that has over 13,000 members and 125,000 posts, and we are
involved in serious discussions. Those message numbers are critical 
to finding old posts we can reference in current discussion.


Alla:

LOL about porn groups. :) and agree otherwise.


Steve:
If you wish to use this in whole or in part for your own response to
Yahoo, feel free to do so.

Alla:

As I said, I may just do that. At first I thought that it is just me 
being computer dummy again, but it is kind of comforting to see that 
I am not alone on this one. :)
