in reply to how many levels of 'RE:' do we need :-)

IMHO: Replies to replies should probably have Re: prepended to them. It would be clearer to give the Original replies a different title, but this would make scanning the newest nodes confusing. I think the way things stand at the minute the Re:Re:'s are necessary to avoid a 'flat' discussion which would not always make sense.

    as someone somewhere already suggested, Re(3): or similar would look much better than Re:Re:Re:
[reply]
      Or you could do a RE(username): subject where the user name is the author of the comment you are replying to.

        Your idea has my vote. I like Re(BigJoe): Subject or combining the two, you can do Re(BigJoe,3): Subject
