adjust to the changes. I have always preferred a threaded board as opposed to the 'stacked' format where replies are posted in the order they were received.

I did not explain my thoughts so I understand why the replies I received (which are, BTW, perfectly fine and appreciated) are the ones that I did. I wasn't thinking of the board's format.

At the risk of starting another problem thread, have you read this one?:

The subject of the thread as posted in the thread's starter post was totally fine. What followed is a complete deterioration of the thread. What happened in that thread is pretty evident.

I understand (and correct me if I am wrong) that you want posters to have the freedom to state their opinion. But freedom can be taken advantage of and misused. The misuse of freedom is what is causing the deterioration of many threads here driving the quality of the board down, IMO.

It's your board. . . .
