hi manish, i think u get the name of the person too who said it along with what he said, but the particular format which sonz has selected doesnt support it, so in case he changes the format, i guess we should see the names also in old blogs !

the problem with reading old blogs and trying to get into the conversation is that you have no clue about who
said what... just a long list of msgs without any names
