1. Thank you for being a FReeper for more than a year. I really hate it when vanity threads are started by someone who has only been on FR for a day or twelve hours or something.

2. Thank you for putting this is General/Chat. I hate it when vanity threads are put in News/Activism.

BTW, what other site do you participate in that has such graphics?

Thanks for noticing that I'm not exactly A NOOB, as some have suggested. In response to your question, I'm not a member of any other sites but I do visit different forums on both the left and right sides of the political spectrum just to see what's making news and what people are saying about it. Of course this is my favorite hands down!!

However, I'm just not a fan of the straight line chronological post. I happen to like the hierarchical / tiered approach. I realize that this is more common with the "out of the box" forums and in no way am I playing down the hard work put in by those who set up this site. I just don't like reading a post and then searching for the post that they are replying to (sometimes 5 pages back). The hierarchical or tiered layout solves this by allowing one to follow the thread responses much more quickly.

As others have suggested, I too would also like to be able to edit my posts. Sometimes I realize right after I hit the button that I left something out that I wish I had included. Oh sure, I could respond to my own post but I don't like to do that. Also, if details of a breaking news story change right after you post then everyone reading the initial post wastes forum space telling you what you already know.

Thanks for not flaming me like the others. It was in no way meant to put down this site. Rather a simple question.
