In the latter case, it isn't sorted correctly, but there's an advantage I often use and which can be seen in this very thread: I answered to Massimo and to your original posting without the need to quote anything. Everyone reading the thread in linear mode immediately recognizes this.

FWIW, *I* could live without New Reply if I must. It's just hard to spend this little extra time only beneficial to threaded view users, especially when their number might not be very much higher than 1 :-P.

Please start a poll about this. Maybe you have some more users in your camp ;-).
