Err... Firstly, I feel strongly enough about this topic that it has made a long time lurker of this forum and reader of Wes's excellent stories decloak. So to all here, hello...

Secondly, I don't understand your point. The last entry is always 'on top' and as a result all of the replies are there. Ok they may not be in chronological order but instead they relate to the specific comment they relate to... which surely is how it should be?

Thirdly Wes has asked for input on this matter. I for one say, no change...

I disagree. This forum works just fine the way it is. In fact it's actually easier to handle then BtFH's forum where a person cannot automatically follow what comment was being answered unless you flip back and forth. (Don't believe me - just go on that forum and find any of a massive series of posts by MM when responding to series of post made by various people whom MM disagreed with.)

To be honest the whole BtFH forum thing is so convoluted that I haven't even tried to comment on any of the more ridiculous statements in over a year. (Actually that's not really surprising, I'm not great at reading online politics anyway, so I seldom try to make sense of that mess.)

Two items:

1st: The forum works fine. It is Wes' forum of choice and we are participants in it. I for one like the discussion interplay as it is however, I'm not a professional forum poster so,...

2nd: What is BtFH and why would I want to investigate that forum?

DotB, thanks. I have been on that site and found it so confusing (and much of it off topic) that while I think Gina Marie Wilie's work is almost as good as Wes', I don't visit it. So much so, that I even did not recognize the abbreviation!

IMO, we don't need this forum to get hijacked and morphed into yet another rant soapbox. There are too many of them out there now. Wes' work and the accompanying Wiki and this forum work beautifully together. It ain't broken so,...
