the answer has been posted a dozen times or more.
Because, due to the nature of the internet, some people do not receive
their email until after a response has been sent. Because of the lag in
receiving their email they send an answer, in an attempt to be helpful,
without KNOWING a response has been sent. Unless EVERYONE agrees to NOT
answer a question before 24 hours have passed this will continue to be
the norm. I, for one, would rather receive five responses relatively
quickly than one response too late. :-)
No Gene. That's not what Thomas was trying to get at. I think what he
was trying to say was: Why don't people read *ALL* of their received
messages before they reply to one. Then, they might notice that replies
have already been received and that consequently they do not need to add
a superfluous reply.
Of course, maintaining correct threading would also help this!
