And click on Personal Pages at the top - that's where you can store links to any threads you want to hold on to (click trace), and put bookmarks, and archive the messages you've sent and received.

And another neat trick - click on the name at the front of anyone's post (unless they are GUESTs) and you get to see all the previous posts they've ever done. And since everyone else can do that as well, it should keep us from saying things we regret saying later. A bit scarey really:

"The Moving Finger writes, and having writ
Moves on, nor all thy piety and wit
Shall call it back to cancel half a line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.
