in reply to Listing # comments versus # replies

I vaguely recall this being suggested before (might be worth checking user settings to see that it's not an option already) and I think it's a fine idea.

Please don't refer to perlmonks as a message board, because it simply isn't, its so much more :)(I think the monks will agree with me here, including you).

MJD says "you can't just make shit up and expect the computer to know what you mean, retardo!"
I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).

    Yep, it's a Virtual Electronic Exchange for Perl Stuff. It's a VEEPS.

    Please don't turn me into a newt.

      The main difference to a regular messageboard is the availability of permanent links to almost all content, and the availability of markup for convenient linking. It's a bit like a cross between a messageboard and a wiki; the combination here is really quite unique.
