i am laughing my ass off at how many reads your post is getting.
and no i didn't.
always makes me wonder when someone does a eom why it gets reads
marcb(not an escaped prisoner and never played one on t.v.)

I click into it because the link is now a different color signifying that it has been read.  That way I can tell old posts from new posts.

Same here, that way I can keep track of the messages I have read.

Bird, I do the same! It's easier to scan what's been viewed. You see, some of us weirdos, have reasons for doing what we do....sometimes!!

and then not delete the EOM from the subject line of their reply.  So, there actually *is* a message body in the post to be read.

Plus, I do like the other folks - rely on the changed colors to keep track of what I've read and what I haven't.
