What is the deal with multi-posting?
ashton:
The boards are by definition public discussion fora.
If you want to have private, user-to-user conversations, use private messaging.
Otherwise, anything that you write is available for anyone on the boards to read, and to respond to.

Any mods available for changing my chattebox?

You don't see the difference in posting in a thread that is directed towards the group in order to continue or start a discussion, and responding to a post which is directed /specifically to an individual/ that is not you? Maybe it is my issue, but it seems rude to me and guess what? That's my opinion.
And saying 'gee, if you don't like it, just start your own thread or go stand in a corner, ignore my posts and don't take part' (paraphrasing here, obviously) kinda illustrates my point on how it is not really conductive to genial conversation and could seem exclusionary.

I was going to let this go, but it's bugged me since I read it. That is not paraphrasing what I said at all, that's taking what I said and flipping it 1800. My whole point was if you don't want to stand in the corner at a party you have to jump into other peoples discussions. And unless you are starting a thread you are going to have to jump in somewhere. Never did I mean, or want it to sound like I was saying, that you should stand in the corner or start a new thread if you don't like it.

I was, as well...but I'm curious.
If the reader want's to be part of the conversation, surely the onus is on them to join it...not on everyone else to stop talking until they (the reader) starts.
LIkewise, should we all stop posting on a topic, to let everyone else start?
