[stylist] A question

[EvaMarie Sanchez]

Oh Jackie, I think I just came up with the answer. After reding Chris'
piece, I realized that this is something I do quite often. I wait and read
after there are multiple posts to something. The discussion is not broken
up and I get the whole thread in one full swoop somewhat. The hard thing is
not opening the thread until I am ready to read it, for once it is opened,
it is not a smooth read.
And I rarely delete anything you guys write.
