Thread Name: BS: Why do BS threads . . .
Subject: RE: BS: Why do BS threads . . .
Well, McGrath, that's a fair request. My browser has problems so I can't negotiate so well lately in Mudcat, but this thread is particularly good example of what I had in mind.

Amergin: well, one reason I care is, before posting to a thread one is supposed to read what comes before, so as not to duplicate what others say. And when the earlier messages are unreadable, that's hard. Moreover, I am genuinely curious what people think is gained by treble-spacing long messages. I really want to know why they do it. It may also be common in music threads, I just don't notice it so much.

I also don't count threads about Bob Dylan as "music" threads.
