I agree with Don on "Strange behavior."
But my favorite part is the link back to the Recent messages page.

As I have said before, RinkWorks is the smoothest working site of all the ones that I use. Some are so cumbersome, I just give up. I use a lot of Yahoo Groups, and they drive me nuts. Sometimes I have to type in my password a dozen times in an hour. Lately, they have been deleting posts as soon as I hit the "send" button. I repeat, it drives me nuts.
