This is what happens when someone doesn't open their own thread, to ask a question.

The lines get blurred between the OP's post,  and the interloper  

and . . . . we don't know if members are posting from a mobile.  If they are, unless a member's post quotes the post they are replying to it does not show on the mobile screen who the post is in reply to

This can lead to misunderstandings about who a poster's post is addressing.

Best advice is, as you allude to, is start their own thread,

OR

we start using the '@imastawka' method when our posts do not quote the post we are replying to.  This way, when viewing on a mobile, there should not be any misunderstandings.

Haaaay.....wayda minnit  

@imastawka

I was using your ID in my example because I was replying to your post.  Wasn't saying it was your method 

Using a mobile it automatically replies to the OP.

That's not what happened here though. 

People were replying willy-nilly (if you'll excuse the expression)  haphazardly

Your plan will unravel, my good slr, and they will continue to reply in that manner.

Spoiler

  thusly....

Yes lyndal they can but what have I ever done to that member to get so many of these ???????????????????????????????
