Jeff,
I'm guilty of not doing this, the reason being is that I'm not sure (as I'm sure many others are) of the etiquette of doing this, ie. 'messing up' someones thread title. It also has a greater opportunity of veering off the original topic. ie. Someone starts a thread called 'Show your Monacos', then someone responds with 'Don't have a Monaco, here is my Silverstone', next 'Here is my Autavia' etc etc... the thread loses it's original purpose.
There is also confusion as to whether a reply should include the original message they are responding to (ie. Your text below my text in this reply). As large image or text posts get reproduced several times over, or people write a reply that it gets 'lost' within the text they are replying to. (I hope that makes sense).
Recently I posted up pics of my orange diver, then someone else did the same thing, but the hands on their orange diver were 'incorrect'. Someone then thought it was my watch that had the wrong hands, which was an issue, as I was trying to sell it !
The system works fine, until someone 'does it wrong'!
Cheers
Stewart
