    3. It doesn't make sense unless you are finished with the thread or it only has 1 message. When reading a thread with multiple responses and I come across a message that needs an objection, I file the objection immediately then continue reading the thread. IMO, this is the most efficient method - if I finished reading the thread, I would then have to backtrack to find the message on which to file the objection - in a long thread, this would be quite time consuming. Also, since the programmers/developers have determined there is no need for a means to "skip" to a previous page of threads, if the thread I was reading was on the 7th page, I have to waste my time to navigate back to where I was to proceed to the following thread. Returning to the board view when deleting or moving makes sense *only* when the entire thread is deleted/moved. This was one of the downgrades of the December (2006) Debacle - on the previous system, if a message was deleted/moved from *within* a thread, you were taken back *to the thread* - a point near to your previous place. However, I fully understand the programmers/developers have no regard for either the time of mere volunteers/users or for anything remotely resembling common sense.

    3. I don't, myself, see much common-sense in re-reading a thread you've already read once. I mean, if you're reading the posts as they come in, why would you plow through each time a new post comes in? If Post C was good when it was fresh, it's probably still good when Post M is the fresh one.
