My first reaction is "why would you want to do that!". I still can't figure that out. Then my questions are "what would the purpose of this archive be?" and "in what way would members find it useful?" I suspect one of two things would happen. Either no one is interested in archives anyway so it wouldn't make any difference, or people do want archives in which case, people being resourceful, you would quickly see two things happen. Every post in a thread will quote the entire thread to that point because everyone knows that 'context' can't be found in the archives, and those who are really interested in having access to archives will reply to every thread with nothing but a quote of the thread so that they can have access to the thread in the archive. I would still like to know what 'problem' is being solved by this idea as I can't think of one. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
