What I meant was it isnt threaded in the traditional sense. You can only make your posts a child of the OP, and not any other really. The controls for threading arent as detailed here as they are for a news group or some of the other forums. I've seen it though where when I've posted, there has been another post waiting after it loads up. That does happen when its an active thread and if ya got a slower connection (it happened to me the other day, and you know how little I post here). Also I know that when I make a post, I can reread it as much as I want, but it still will make sense to me, but then a few minutes later, a friend tells me "Hey man, ya know that what ya said can mean this" (this is a common occurance for me). As far as someone removing text from their post when they cannot delete does happen quite a bit. Someone gets pissed at different people making fun of what they say, and they remove it. Or they think the post isnt valid anymore, because info contained has changed, so they just remove it so a casual looker wont be misinformed. Personally, I think you should have both edit and delete at all times.
