[edit] Interweaving replies

Good morning, Jimbowley. I just moved two of the comments you made on the Simple Machines talk page. When you interweave your replies in the middle of someone else's signed comment, it disrupts the flow of the original writer's point, potentially changes the context and meaning of the comment and, most importantly, it breaks up the attribution of the person's comment. Ettiquette on Talk pages is to reply below their signature.

If attempting to reply to a particularly long comment covering multiple topics that are truly independent, it can be okay to synopsize or even copy the comment in order to separate the discussion threads but that didn't seem to be the case here.

If in the course of moving your comments I accidentally changed the context, please correct it on the Talk page (without interweaving, of course). Thanks. Rossami (talk) 15:50, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
