redi: Ok, but, now I have 2 people to reply to, and I want to post something new. If I split it into 3 posts my name will appear high on the recentlog 3 times, making people think that I think I'm important enough to take up that much space.
Now, if I combine the replies and the post into 1, the 'thread' is completely broken, nothing about what I'm saying here indicates whether or not I'll be replying to anyone else or starting a new post. I don't care if comments get shown on the recentlog or not, if it's purely about conversation, but an indication of what it is meant to be might be nice. So that if I were to split it in 3, it would at least be clear that 2 of those were replies to others, and not just spam :)
cdfrey: As I've just said to redi, comments showing up on the recentlog would be fine, probably even a good idea because of exactly what you said. Also, I agree with your article comment, if we could at least see from the original post what discussion has been had over it, I would gladly leave it at that and be more than happy (since I'm already happy).
Thanks to both of you, and
Zaitcev, for your
comments, I appreciate it.
I've chosen a middle road, I'll split it in 2 (one for replies and one for post) and leave some time before I post again in the hope someone else is going to post as well :)
