I’m 100% a fan of a dedicated topic for your (machined) plastic yo-yo! You could post as many updates / replies as you want, as long as you want, _and_ it could have the title of your yo-yo as the title of the topic, which would make it much easier to find – both inside the forum and from Google on the outside. Plus you’d be the topic owner so the provenance of it all would be easier to grasp, even for wanderers-by. And as the topic owner you’d get a higher default notification level on the topic, for knowing when others reply, etcetera. I just feel like the lede was kinda buried here. But what can I say, I’m an Internet Dad™, I like things organized so others can find them. (and “too many” sequential replies are … not good for discussions as a general rule, yes) ---

Lmao. That thread is about making quoting easier in a response. _You_ turned it into a soapbox to spout about multiple responses. As I said in a previous thread… you should hire some people that will legitimately tell you no sometimes. It’d be good for both you and projects you’re associated with. ---

Seems to me people can reply excessively to a topic regardless of what quoting methods you put in front of them. At least that’s been my experience in five decades of living and working online, and building companies that ship software to millions of users, such as Stack Overflow and Discourse. 🤷‍♂️ You should consider starting your own software company if you want to set defaults. It might be a good experience for you. ---

Nah, I’ve been an owner and ran several successful restaurants. Millions and millions in sales. I’ve learned how to deal with people and treat them properly. That’s what I’m experienced in.
