I like the idea of replying to a specific message of the thread, as we
do on mailing list.I guess the fact that it's using gemlogs (which are usually longer-formthan your average comment on a forum) as the posting medium mitigatesmy main complaints with threaded forums—namely, encouraging low-effortor otherwise filler comments and encouraging tangential and off-topicdiscussions. Upon thinking about it more, I think threaded would befine or preferable for this style of board.
Maybe I should add the requirement that the post link to the board
thread as well as the post it’s responding to. This would ease
updating because you know exactly in which thread a message goes
without searching in the thread. But I liked the simplicity of just
linking to what you are anwsering.I think it would be best to just link to what you're replying too aswell. As long as you take uri normalization and encoding into account,it wouldn't be any harder to match a link to an arbitrary post in athread as it would to match the base board link.
