yes, and i don't always do it.. but sometimes, it makes sense.. some threads have 2 or 3 seperate topics going.. and those who do read threaded.. might miss your comments, if you only 'post' flat. it also rare that i am interested in all three topics.. i might read the stuff, but 'pass' on responding to topic A, but be very exicited about topic C. Max, on the other had, who is having a serious (and to me boring!) discussion about topic A, doesn't want to read my recipes! (boring to him!)
Its like being in room, and several people are talking about the same thing (Jenifer Lopez, say!), but the guys are talking about how hot she is (or isn't,), and the girls are all talking about how thin she has gotten, or her outfit..and the kids are talking about her newest music video.. i might hear what the kids have to say, but i am not really part of their conversation, nor do i find her sexually attractive (she attractive, but i'm not attracted to her!).. Does that make sense?
