To paraphrase an occasional military response to that sort of question, "We debate democracy here, we don't practice it."

I'm well aware of that. But that does not mean that the leaders, group thinking in isolation, have the best plan.

Given that this has been debated many times and the result is normally split amongst those that want multiple posts allowed for readability (and postcount) and those that want them disallowed for readability, we make a decision.

Personally, I feel that multiple posts are easier to read than a long list of quotes and responses and I'm not talking about quotewarrioring either,
You're more than welcome to run your forum that way. We have decided our path, and that's how we operate ours.

I sent a PM to someone. They didn't reply yet so I went to sent a follow-up to say something else. I went to the outbox and replied. It appeared in my inbox. Is it supposed to?

I think you'll find that you replied to yourself, not to them.

Question: Suppose someone posts up a thread for debate and everyone agrees the same thing, thus making the thread sort of pointless. Would it just be closed?
We don't close threads just because everybody agrees with the OP usually...

I wouldn't think so, because I figure that threads are supposed to be informative. And even if everybody agrees, I would think that people could still post interesting information of some sort.

There wouldn't be much discussion and the thread would die of its own accord.

You need to upload them to the internet first, then link them.

That's a long way from " being gentle" . I was hoping for something more along the lines of " press this button , then that button and heh presto ! Very cool picture of me rockin' at Metallica concert appears "
However , I will dutifully research this uploading to internet concept as suggested.
