Nick Sent from my Windows Mobile® phone. -----Original Message----- From: Dominique GEORGES <dominique.geor...@gmail.com> Sent: 18 April 2010 11:05 To: MyLifeOrganized <mylifeorganized@googlegroups.com> Subject: [MLO] Re: getsatisfaction for MLO? As for example, today, I have "9 new messages" ! The 7 first are on the first displayed page (having to look to "New message" under each topic), I discovered this one on the 4th page, and have still to look for the last one ! In french the word to be used for such "Google group" is brol ! I takes more time to search where the new posts are rather then reading them !
