How can you threadnodists stand it?
Umm ... if you don't like it the way it is, you click on the approriate icon up at the top of the page to make it go the other way, duh.
[wild-eyed rant]So wofaholic was remiss in pointing us to a thread in threaded mode. So take him out and shoot him. If the seat is up and you want it down you put it down; you don't complain about your inability to understand why someone else would make a choice that isn't the same as the choice you'd make.[/rant]
[explicatory note]When pointing to a whole thread it is best to do it in flat mode; when pointing to an individual post it is best to do it in threaded mode. This is done by choosing between flat and threaded in the link to the thread or post, respectively, thusly:
http://wordsmith.org/board/ showXXXX.pl?Cat=&Board=words&Number=nnnnn
where XXXX is the string, either flat or threaded depending on which way you want to go.
If you are pointing to an individual post and you do it in flat mode you get the whole thread and it is difficult to determine which post was being referred to. If you are pointing to the whole thread you might as well show the whole thread and not just some (possibly) random post within that thread.[/note]
