The current structure of this forum is a very good example of the problem of not linking responses to given postings. I have come into the discussion quite late and therefore all of my contributions are at the end of the thread although some of my comments refer to postings quite early in the thread.

The longer this thread becomes, the more problematical this will become. Matthias can do a wonderful visualization of our own UAB forum structure that will be just as destructive to rational discussion as the present .lrn forum.

Dorothea, make sure to look at the comment threading on stories on kuro5hin (that Jeff mentioned above).

The start of a thread:

http://www.kuro5hin.org/comments/2004/4/30/161255/403/80#80

There are little drop downs that allow the users to sort as they wish.

Pick "dynamic threaded" or "dynamic minimal".
