In order to get rid of the multiple quote windows that you see, we need to pony up real money. [MODERATOR NOTE: No, it won't take any money at all. Just edit them out when you're making a reply.] I've been harping on this to "keene" since this board began. Last I heard, it would cost $160.00. I could start a thread to see if there is any more interest?

Dear Moderator,
In order to present a series of exchanges in a discussion on this board (uh oh, here she goes) one must use the multiple quote windows to demonstrate that. A threaded view does that automatically as it collects the posts and drops them down or fans them out as a thread grows. I know what you're talking about but there are people around here who are interested in focused dialogue and I think that a threaded view lends itself to that goal.

Here comes my honest opinion of this linear format. I really hate it. So much of the discussion is lost in the process of scrolling through a number of posts that are off topic in order to locate the post or poster you were trying to engage. If one wishes to track the exchanges in a discussion, you need to collect the quotes of other posters by using the quote windows and when those quote windows start to pile up, it's visually disruptive.
For example, if I want to go at a specific topic with you, moksha, I need to scroll through umpteem posts to find your last response to me.
The lack of smilies is an admin preference, not a cost issue.

Yeah. The cost of a hitman to murder me, since smilies will only return over my dead body.
