Well at least somebody agrees with me. I think the Yahoo Mono-Sodium-Glutamat (Natrium Glutamat) board link I posted is more straight forward to reading the thread. The one you posted is to busy. It actually offers more information than is needed to just keep up with a thread. You are right about the archiving. I don't know how you would go back and read all the messages pertaining to a particular subject on the Yahoo site not pertaining to a particular posting.
