Yes -- if your comment was to be on getting the category off of emerge |
18 |
--pretend. Yes, the example of trimming is right, but the |
19 |
context is still messed up because you aren't replying to the right |
20 |
thread (that discussion, if I'm reading you right, was on the initio |
21 |
thread, not this one). Sometimes replying to the wrong thread may be |
22 |
done, if for instance the author is viewing unread messages only and no |
23 |
messages from the "right" thread are currently displayed, to reply to, |
24 |
but if so, it's usually noted in the comment, to avoid confusion when the |
25 |
reply seems to make /no/ sense in regard to the quoted context. (Here, it |
26 |
makes sense in regard to the meta-context, but not the actual content of |
27 |
what you quoted, if that makes any sense...) |
