Not that FR isn't perfect already, and not that JimRob need be taking requests from the audience.....but....
It would be 'nice to have' a "View All Replies" button to augment the "View Replies" button.
So that you can immediately see the complete back-and-forth discussion throughout the entire thread between Poster B and Poster C, D and E.
Currently "View Replies" just give's you the "Is not!". Then you want to read the "Is too!" and the second, third and etc round of "Is too, too! Is not, not!"
As it is, you can somewhat follow by pressing "View Replies" several times on successive pages.
Just an idea.

click the other option next to it. There's two, threads or messages. One gives you all the replies (messages), one gives you all the latest articles (threads). It's right under help on the latest article page.

FR needs smiley faces and emoticons.

Duh, do you have to ask?

If A posts, and B and C reply, and A, D, and E reply to B, while F replies to C, what is it you want to see?
All of those, in order....just as "View Replies" does.
Like:
0) Post
1) A to 0 Agreed!
2) b to 1 Wrong!
3) c to 1 Right!
4) A to 2 Maybe.
5) x to 0 Bush's Fault!
6) Y to 2 I like butter!
7) D to 2 Uh uh
8) E to 2 Yeah
9) f to 3 wow.
View All Replies on Post 1 would give:
1) A to 0 Agreed!
2) b to 1 Wrong!
3) c to 1 Right!
4) A to 2 Maybe.
6) Y to 2 Magnificent Bustard!
7) D to 2 Uh uh
8) E to 2 Yeah
9) f to 3 wow.
View all replies on 2 would give:
2) b to 1 Wrong!
4) A to 2 Maybe.
6) Y to 2 I like butter!
7) D to 2 Uh uh
8) E to 2 Yeah
9) f to 3 wow.
-------
The point is, if you get two pages into a thread, some people are still responding to the original post, and some are off on a tangent. If you want to focus on that particular tangent, it would be easier to read that "sub-thread" with a view all button.
Instead, you're likely to miss many subsequent sub-thread posts toward the very end (Post # 1,498) that you haven't been able to navigate to yet.

If A posts, and B and C reply, and A, D, and E reply to B, while F replies to C, what is it you want to see? I want to see A, B, C, D, E and F in my office and get this resolved so they can get their asses back to work.

The problem with edit is, the trolls will be able to correct their 'factual' entries. If you or I make a mistake, we have no problem correcting it. We just say, oops, I errored. So what if you have a typo, the annal types will let you know, is that so bad?

It's called "Preview".

The problem with edit is,....Yep. Like the "Delete this Post" option on the State pages. Too easy to throw a bomb and then take it back later.

FR needs smiley faces and emoticons.And a lot of swear words too. I think it should look a lot more like DUhville.
