Maybe we should set up another survey. Flatliners and threadnodists work fine around here.

I'm a flatliner. Always have been. Why, are they considered second-class or something?

My mum was a seamstress, does that count as a reason?

Actually, I prefer the structure that threaded gives, allowing individual ripostes and sidelines, giving relatively coherent narratives (except when the two-dimensionals simply reply after the last post), and permitting the quick screening of posts to home in on just the one or two that I feel may require my urgent attention.

ETA...flat is the view of this page where post show up one after another in chronological order and threaded is when only the post headings show up (you have to click on them to open them) and the dates don't follow because people are answering a specific post/person instead of just doing a reply to the very last post. Sometimes, they'll answer a post a few days previous so a tangent grows out of the original thread.
