"I have no words that would do justice to the atrocities you commit to the English language, as well as your continued assaults on the concepts of basic literacy and logical reasoning."
Bandwidth isn't that much of a concern with text (the text contents of this web site are compressed over the wire for compatible browsers), and even then, people quoted a bunch anyway.
The threaded view isn't coming back in the forseeable future. Not only did it suck for the layout designers, the overhead of such a dynamic forum system is one of the reasons the 7th Column is being upgraded to new code. That new code will use this forum system, which is superior is pretty much every way.

Well, threaded view could actually save bandwidth. When you have threaded views, there is no reason to quote people anymore, which takes up a lot more bandwidth than simply threading the view. Of course, there probably isn't enough quoting to really save much, but the threaded view more than makes up for any additional file transfer sizes in my opinion. And I'm not nostalgic, Barron, I simply like the way threaded works. It's my preferred view style.
