Interesting "conclusion" then; still wrong.

Sometimes I read chronologically and sometimes I read reverse-chronologically.
My newsreader sorts everything by time, and gives me a near-live feed, so if
I happen to be sitting at the screen and notice a new post appear, I'll see it
within typically 60 seconds of its having been posted. If I'm away from the
keyboard for a while and messages stack up, I often read messages in an ad hoc
order. My newsreader doesn't record the timestamp of the time I first passed
my read-cursor over an article, however, so I couldn't even begin to tell you
what order I read them, but in any event I wouldn't (polite way of saying you
shouldn't) make assumptions that messages get read chronologically by anyone
or that they're always at the keyboard to respond to something within a half
hour.

Other than cases where someone's email was discovered to be a dead-end or be a
spammer, I believe that's correct. No one has been obviously malicious here
before. Is there a point to what you are suggesting? If you care to continue
discussions/relations with MM, is there something that is stopping you from
carrying on via email or RTL?
