All your posts have been first "Hey its a good idea" but always at the end watering it down with such arguments such as "a 200 contact list would fill up the entire screen) to make it negative.
This reply shows you apparently didn't understood what I've said or why I said it.

If you understood what I ment from the start, why post this?
because it's a different way to implement intellisense. Because there is more than one way.
eg:
-the whole list of items visible in one plane (which will produce a huge window with 200 contacts)
-only the first x items visible in one plane (not really usefull for a huge list of contacts)
-the whole list of items in a scrollable window (still troublesome for a huge list of contacts because it still needs lots of scrolling and searching if you don't know the exact name or email - which in the end was the whole purpose of this: to make it easier to select a contact)
-etc...
-etc...
And from your post it isn't clear in what exact way the list would be made visible. The only indication from
your post would be
"a small list". On which
I replied that it wouldn't be small if you have like 200 contacts (and also: 'a list' != 'a window'). On which
you replied with the exact same thing as before (type 'a' and list gets shortened with contacts beginning with letter 'a'), and not understanding that there are different ways to display something like intelissense, or even what intellisense is.
And thus
I said that you didn't brought up anything new and thus you didn't made a real reply to my post. And yet
you posted again the exact same thing (type 'a' and blahblah) without ANY clarification or notion about different existing methods to display the stuff. On which
I replied in detail what is 'wrong' with your
"small list". And yet you still keep on repeating the same stuff (type 'a' and blahblah), so yeah, of course I get a bit aggravated then...
-------------
Hence I'm not going to reply anymore to this. I know what intellisense means (you clearly didn't) and that it can be implemented in different ways (which you apparently didn't think about or didn't understood from my posts). Ways which all have their own advantage/disadvantage, which I tried to expand on. And last: a list is not a window. You constantly talked about "a list", a list is a bunch of items, it doesn't say a thing about how it is displayed. And it is exactly that what I posted about...
If you fail to understand all of that, then it's your loss, sorry...
