Yeah I realize that cross-posts happen within minutes and seconds of each
other; I'm talking about somebody (for instance) that reads his mail once or
twice a day or even every hour or so and replies as he goes instead of
reading the whole thread.

This just happened to me: When I started my reply to Neil no one had
yet replied. I told him there should be no gap between the front
tranny mount and frame.  I hit send and the thread pops back ( Gmail )
up with 3 or so replies before mine telling him the same thing...
