1. I do not find it cumbersome to use the reply button, even if I have to go all the way back up to the top post to reply to it. Scrolling is easy. I usually try to make sure that I hit "reply" to whichever post I am replying to. On some fora, that requires me to use the "quote" button. If I do not choose to use the quote, as part of the editing I block it out and delete it. I adapt to whatever environment I am in.
2. One reply button and one quote button work for me, so long as they are clearly marked.
3. And for what it is worth, I prefer threaded posts for the reason that others have cited: the visual organization of sub threads in those threads where the topic breaks into logical pieces works for my eye-brain interface. :)
We are always at the mercy of the quality of the membership as regards to threaded or unthreaded threads getting out of hand, but here at the Lounge I would gamble that our membership won't tend to abuse threaded views. I appreciate that you, Bolty, having to referee some of potato chip fights in your living room here, may see it through a different lens.
