Admittedly, sometimes the "stacking" of posts, including private ones
is a tad irritating but I guess that's a limitation of using a web
interface and avoiding the use of a whole lot of HREFs to browse a
message thread -- I think, so far, that GMail has managed to strike a
functional (though, not perfect) balance between separate message
entries and thread views. We'll see where they go from here...
