[Coco] Etiquette Question

[Dennis Bathory-Kitsz]

What an interesting discussion. Where have I heard this before? For, 
say, the past 25 years?

That's for sure. Shall we discuss politics?

Moi? Arbiter?

And in between. :)

Seriously, all three have merits and purposes.

Here's how I do it. Top post: New or expanded contribution to 
existing discussion for which what follows is mostly a mnemonic. 
Woven post: Responses to specific points and/or (q.v.) ironic or 
humorous comments regarding same. Bottom post: 
General/concise/summary followup contribution to content above for 
which the content is important to re-read.

I certainly hope this doesn't keep anybody awake at night. As for me, 
back to quietly napping...
