Not that FR isn't perfect already, and not that JimRob need be taking requests from the audience.....but.... It would be 'nice to have' a "View All Replies" button to augment the "View Replies" button. So that you can immediately see the complete back-and-forth discussion throughout the entire thread between Poster B and Poster C, D and E. Currently "View Replies" just give's you the "Is not!". Then you want to read the "Is too!" and the second, third and etc round of "Is too, too! Is not, not!" As it is, you can somewhat follow by pressing "View Replies" several...

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A senator leading an investigation into the government's response to Hurricane Katrina questioned whether post-storm requests by New Orleans city officials for golf carts, air conditioners and travel assistance were necessary.

WASHINGTON - The Bush administration eased a series of important environmental regulations in a quiet flurry of late-summer activity, delivering almost every rule change on corporate America's wish list. In the past few weeks, the administration diluted federal rules governing air pollution from old coal-fired power plants; emissions that cause global warming; ballast water on ships contaminated with foreign species of plants and animals; sales of land tainted with PCBs; drilling for oil and gas on federal land; and scientific studies that underpin federal regulations.
