Once a view is selected, the documents are displayed in the main window.
Authors are the creators of each message.
When you respond to an existing message or create a new discussion topic, please be sure to type your name in exactly the same way each time.

The Date view displays the day of the week and the date when a message is posted. Therefore, please keep your messages related to topics that are pertinent to this purpose.
