Why is the "In reply to" indicator suppressed sometimes?

well, OK, but at that same dinner party, if a guy isn’t responding to the person who last spoke, they usually say something like “getting back to the original topic…” but there’s no cue here one way or the other.

All i’m saying is that in every thread, there’s usually at least one post that trips me up this way.

but, you’re onto something as far as designing this thing to foster true conversation. and it’s your baby. Am I and @DennisArmstrong the only people having this trouble, or are we the only ones communicating it to you? I really can’t say, but your response and consideration was appreciated.

thanks!

EDIT: I got to thinking about the dinner party some more. i promise I’ll shut up now. I know i’m becoming a bit of a gadfly in these threads–too much time on my hands, sorry!
