In Response To: Forum Prime Directive, "The Right to Disagree" (ZAPPER)

When REPYLING, if you click 'Reset' you wipe out the message number of the post your new post should be threaded to. So don't do that. :-) Either make a note of the 'parent' message number, and re-enter it into the appropriate field before submitting your new reply message, or, instead of clicking 'Reset', select-and-delete the text of the previous message from the text entry field. No 'ad hominem' attacks. Debate issues, not persons. Use a Subject that actually has something to do with what your message is about. If your post consists mostly of an URL, say enough about what's at the other end of that URL to allow readers to tell whether they want to go to the trouble of clicking on your link. ZAPPER
