Alas, the issue of confusion shall remain while we each 'neglect' to include a reference in our posts to the person or post we are responding to.
In the end, which is more troublesome;having to reference/cite each time, or not being able to know what somebody is complaining about?
What if one has composed a post, only to discover that the conversation has moved on before the post appears, or that it is immediately evident that one has got the wrong end of the stick?
What if one has posted something earnest and detailed, but on the wrong thread?
It may be that we see here such instances as I mention just as much, or more often, than what is the issue under discussion in this thread.
