Implementing threads and pinning so Venkat can reply to some of the stuff above.
I have to say I Do Not Get the design philosophy here. It seems like it is trying to make responding as awkward and difficult as possible. So – Venkat wanted to respond to something I had written. Yay, dialog! First I had to implement threads, but that's OK. But then he tells me I have to pin it so it can be forked so others can include it as a quote.
So someone who wants to respond to me has to ask me through a side channel to pin my post first? You gotta be kidding (note: I may just not understand the model here).
The alternative seems to be to pin everything by default, then you get a Twitter-like model where posts are immutable. But that seems to be discouraged.
I'm pinning this because I'm interested in responses, and its not the sort of thing I'd be likely to want to revise.
