I think that we should have the option to post without replying to somebody else. it makes it annoying when we have to quote or reply to topics. Leave us the option but don't make it manditory.

usually in a 'forum', a face-to-face one that is...you address someone in particular - if you didn't, then it would be a speech and not a discussion.

however, maybe they could have 3 options:
"Reply", "Quote", and "Rant".

How about an 'aside'? Where are those additional graemlins...this one would be 'Chorus' and in a toga.

I really don't understand why you would want to make a comment in a thread without replying to what someone else has said, otherwise you would just be off topic. If all else fails, just reply to the original post, because if your response does not at least relate to the first post, then it does not belong there.

Unless I'm missing something...

"Non-Sequitor"

BTW, Joel even though I replied to your post, I meant this to be in response to one of Oldman's post in another thread...if we had the 'Non-Sequitor' option, this wouldn't have happened. sorry for the confusion.

yes, actually, there WAS a need to be a smartass

'up-start'? thats not true, I've been a wise-guy since day one. and my voice is as harmonic as a flushing commode.
now, clean your room and do your homework.
