I also. That is exactly my pattern - read flat, post threaded.

Hello, max-- you made my day.. when i read your post about some flat moder clicking on your post, and your being upset about getting messages about posts unrelated to yours.. i though.. i almost never repy to any thing max has said.. his post are so complete, and so above me.. i just sit in awe.
and then, you second'd my post! wow! i am doing something right!
Bel, dear, if you follow the thread, you see how the subject matter has changed, and how the thread is broken..
Connie's post is (i think) linked to yours, and my post is linked to yours.. but my thread is not linked to connie's!
In real life we follow mutlithread discussions all the time. listening to hubby, and kids, and for kettle's whistle, and is that the door bell? or telephone? and we still can catch a word or two from the TV.

actually, i think it is a newbie, problem. at first there is just so much to take in.. and when i started, it was acutally possible to go back and read all the old thread.
so i stumbled across some of the solutions.. and i began to see, you thread were organized.. and creating a mental map, and order to words, is one way i deal with dyslexia- i absolutely hate magazine article that are broken into dribs and drabs.. i want a whole page of text, please! its hard enought to read with out making things more complicated!
i can understand the threaded mode, but i have trouble reading that way.. i want each post, neatly open one after an other.. but i do sometimes use the threaded mode if i can't find a reference.
since i sometimes reply to a post that is several days old.. i really feel obligated to use threaded post. i need to go back and reread the post anyway!

At the moment it looks like you, the ASp and I are a troika
I hate to break up your troika, but I read flat and post threaded too.
I didn't always do it that way-- at some point, a thread discussion made me aware that threadnodists would appreciate it if we flatliners would click on the actual post we are responding to, not just the last post of the thread. In return, it would make flatliners happy if threadnodists would be kind enough to provide a bit of text from the post they are responding to, so that flatliners can follow the conversation properly.

Why not do both? Read flat (because it's faster), post flat (but respond to the post responded to rather than the latest one), and also quote a relevant part so that pure "flatters" will have a referent? Read by threaded mode when things get really complicated. Save mucho tiempo that way, I should think...
Ah, well. Whatever works, works.

Well, I just trusted that everyone here was intelligent enough to figure things out. Guess I'll just have to talk to myself. Pffffffft  !!![mooning-e] I'm doin' my best Foghorn Leghorn impression, folks, so please understand that I am making a joke.
