If you use Modern View rather than Classic View, the postings are displayed in chronological order. How do you make sense of postings that come in out of chronological sequence in response to something someone other than the OP has said? Let's say A posts a question, and B, C, D, E, and F respond. The next day five more people respond and then X posts something disagreeing with what C said. In Modern View X's posting is now the most current, so it is at the top of the page. There's not a way to tell that it was intended to address something C said except to puzzle it out from the context. What if C had said, "That's a brilliant idea. I'm going to do that from now on," and tens posts later X reads what C has said and replies, "Me too". But X's response happens to occur right after K says to A, "That's a stupid idea. I think you're an idiot." Now, chronologically, it appears that X has agreed that A is an idiot rather than that A's idea is brilliant. In Classic view this is graphically clear. How do you work it out in Modern View?
