Please either quote a small portion (don't need the whole post, just enough to know who you're taking to) of the post you are replying to or click the "reply" button on the post you're replying to as tha will keep in in the correct "thread" of the topic.
For those not knowing how to switch from "flat" to "threaded" its under "Edit your Preferences" in the menu at the top of the main forum page.
This from the Announcements forum. And since seeing it, I've been doing it. However, perhaps those in threaded mode could do a similar favor for those of us in flat mode. . .
Seeing two posts in a row by the same person gets confusing when the second post has no reference to who it's in response to. When you reply to multiple posts at the same time, it would be much easier to understand if you quote something of the post you're replying to, so we know who you're talking to. This avoids posts where the only subject of the sentence(s) is "they," or something similar.
Thanks
