Edward Ned Harvey, Please, before you condemn everyone who uses the Jive forums as being l0sers and id10t's, go and use it yourself to post a day's worth of mail replies. Find out *for yourself* how hard or easy it is to actually live life the way you are preaching, because, in the end, unless you walk in their shoes and show thru your actions that you merit people's respect, nobody gives a damn what you have to say. Most of us here have lived with Jive's foibles long enough to realize that there is a fundamental conceptual flaw in trying to gateway between a forum where the entire thread history is presented in the user interface in the order it was generated, and where quoted text is discouraged and bad form and a mail thread where those things are explicitly not true. In other words, it isn't Jive's fault, nor is it the Jive user's fault - from their perspective, they don't see the problem. It is only you, who chose to use a deficient user interface (mail) to follow their conversation, who has the problem....
