So when responding to threads, I will just ignore the 20 old pages and only read the last post or two and respond to that. I mean what would be the point of quoting a 2 month old post and responding to it anyway? That author is very unlikely to even see that I'm responding to his post 2 months later. Again, seems retarded, but you guys seem to like it, so I'll give your approach a try.
