With all due respect, I’m not sure that the proprietors of this site intentionally adopted a board format that features the “reply” option simply to give users a dumping ground for replies that users don't think are all that important. Likewise, I'm not sure why the proprietors of this board intended the "post new" option for users to "bump" their own "important" replies, affecting everyone viewing the board and rendering the various board view options useless. I think the ability to reply to specific posts and the ability to offer readers viewing formats that organize responses and new threads for better reading/tracking was likely one of the appeals behind adopting the software that powers this board. It certainly has potential for abuse, and it's unfortunate that some exploit that.

Every circumvention is essentially a one-finger-salute to both the makers of the board (who intentionally chose the format and the options it provides to readers), but also every single user here who makes use of the features the board provides.

You needn’t worry about replies being “lost in the nest” when properly using the reply function. “New” tags are generated for everyone who has viewed or is tracking the thread, giving your replies their own special tags/link for those who find the discussion you're contributing to interesting.

Yes, duplicate posts may be more annoying than intentionally misplaced ones, but that doesn’t address the point that both are annoying and disrepectful.

My reply wasn’t calling into question the value of your responses here (if you review my response, you'll see that I acknowledged as much), it was merely pointing out the effect that abusing the “post new” option has on other users and the layout of the board it imposes on others. You’re right that other users here (one in particular) abuse that board features. I don’t see how that makes continued abuse by others either appealing or justified. How adopting those posting habits as some sort of role model is wise or justified escapes me. I'd humbly suggest that putting distance between yourself and them is both becoming and desirable.

IMHO,
