Well, i come home, and key in to rec boats, and looks like google has

I use Google, but I'm a serious neanderthal when it comes to computing.
I use a computer because they have replaced typewriters, and because
they are dominating the field of casual communication. The average
12-year old knows more than most adults about computers, and the
average 9-year old knows more than I do.

Try collapsing the list of threads on the left hand side. That makes
the posts a lot more readable. Trying to display both at once seems to
put the posts into a one-column format, and it is tedious to read 3-4
words and then have to drop a line for the rest of the phrase.

Give it 3-4 days and it will probably seem normal. I was put off by the
change initially, but sometimes it can be easy to be put off merely
because something *has* changed, even if with a bit of practice and
experience it will become evident that the change was for the better.
