What I should have said is "Why should notes pervert itself...?" "Pervert" is the right word--the whole purpose of notes is to provide linkage between notes and responses to them. Intentionally breaking the link between a note and its response is a violation of this notion. Now, I have heard from folks that there is a hack for notes to conform to netnews usage. If this keeps the linkage for notes while keeping up appearances for netnews, then this is fine--I don't know enough about the subject to say whether it's possible. We'll see, I suppose. James Jones
