Re: Being as anal retentive as I am...
I would heartily agree with you, Frank, if that happened very often. I like the current format whereby I see the poster first, and I don't usually ever check the date. I'd rather not have to check the date on my way to the poster.
And, if there were a lot of posts which had "by Amos, by Andy" by Bowser on the board I'd think it should be changed.
