SolarFlux posted the spoilerized replies below in the [URL="http://forums.3drealms.com/vb/showthread.php?p=826159"]What are you reading[/URL] thread. He should have used the multiquote feature, but he instead ended up posting 8 times in a row.
If a user post more than one reply to a thread with no one else posting between the first and subsequent reply or replies, the system should just append the first post with the subsequent posts. I don't know if a modification would be needed, but I think it may be worth it.

[QUOTE=SolarFlux;826169]Have you read Leviathan by Thomas Hobbes? If so, would you say it says much the same things as the Prince? I haven't read it, but I have it...it looks a bit lengthy to start at the moment though.
Well we are on the subject, have you read much of The Age of Reason, seventeenth-century philosophers? I have a bunch of Decartes, Locke, Spinoza, ect to plow through.
well, maybe not plow-through, philosophy is pretty slow-reading.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=SolarFlux;826170]I like Ellis's "broken narrative" style of writing. Gotta say though, enjoyed the movie American Psycho more than the book, same kind of deal with Fight-Club...they both just worked out so damn good as movies.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=SolarFlux;826173]Is Tolstoy any good? I'm pretty fond of Dostoyevsky right now...Russia's produced some good thinkers...almost as many as Germany *laugh*[/QUOTE]

Or you can just click the little arrow by the poster's name. His posts aren't true double posts in that the content is wrong, but he was on a solo posting spree and if the addon ADM linked to had been installed, every reply he made could have been contained within one post as if he'd used the multiquote feature.Posted 02-20-2009 at 04:34 PM by Bludd -
