This is from a Newbie Thread [me being the newbie] someone suggested I pose here... >> So...
I was toying with the possibility "that wouldn't it be gr8 if your 'PE' [contact] just answered you straight up... eg. "Penelope Pins knew my time was important to me so she didn't beat aound the bush, the thread you've given me belongs to Joe Bloggs".
Having thought about it some more, it is kind of an authentic response too, in the sense that someone you'd built a realtionship up with, wouldn't 'stuff you around' by making you ask about A,B,C...

The programming would probably be a bit rough, but it would sure save a ton of clicks. It could potentially take 26 tries to match the 4 threads in your scenario (8+7+6+5), and even then you might have to come back later once you've identified the final two suspects. 26 tries means at least 52 clicks if you use the back key between tries. Actually, it would be a few more than that, since you'd occasionally have to go ask a different question to choose thread #2, #3, #4.

One click would be so much more efficient.
