RE: State of the thread.
One think I don't like about the overally site setup is replies. I wish there was some way that a reply could follow the original comment or posting. I usually see the thread about once every 24 hours, and by then any reply is so far away it's kind of lost in the ocean of more gorgeous images. For instance there have been several replies to the question of splitting the thread, and it would be nice to have read them all at once. This is a technical thing, not something I assume Phillip could institute, and I don't know enough about how blogs like this are set up to even know if that is possible.
