How the postings on this board are organized - CONFUSING
Posted By: <b>runscott</b><p>I just finished reading a response of Pete's to one of my posts on the "old gum cards" thread (which I promised not to reopen, but I couldn't resist!). I realized after all my posts that no one would have any idea what I was responding to, but since I had implicated someone for something they had nothing to do with, and I had yelled at Pete when I was wrong, I figured it was better than nothing.<BR><BR>To really follow these threads, you have to look at the indentation, which is extremely confusing. If it's indented, it's a response to the next post above it that is one indentation to the left. If it's not indented compared to the one above it, then it simply is a later response to the next one above it that IS indented to the left.<BR><BR>I know this is confusing, but I've seen several posts where people think that someone is responding to their post, and they AREN'T - if you understand the indentation thing, you won't make this mistake and you won't get your feelings hurt when someone else isn't even talking about you.<BR><BR>This is not like the CU Forum where all posts in a thread get stuck on the end regardless of what you are responding to. David confuses things even more by frequently responding to his own questions!<BR><BR>Having said that, yes Pete, I was apologizing, and no, I didn't add any additional posts after my apologies.<br><br>
