If there is a way in groups/discussions to see the most recent posts first? Is there a setting box I can check to read from the present back, so that today's posts are on page 1, instead of the original posts?

Hey I used to be a lawyer too. Loved the way it taught me to think but didn't like practicing much. I am in a Master's for Nonprofit Mgmt program at Spertus now and working on writing (and grant writing too).

I grew up in the midwest (not much wind), lived in Maine for 10 years (lots of snow but no wind) and I can't get over the wind here. I am in Evanston near the lake. I always expect to see children blowing by like tumbleweeds. You couldn't wear a dress here unless you weighted down the hem. The expression "that blows me away" must have started here. Again welcome!!
