I guess it's personal preference. As I've read, it's preferred to not 
use in-line replies because it makes it a little harder to follow the 
thread. For me though, I prefer it as it lets me address each point 
individually, though I sometimes feel like I am annoying someone. :)

It's a very good point, and one I will keep in mind as the format of the 
site evolves.

Oh wow, did you ever!! That is excellent, thank you very much!

I don't like having people feel obliged to register, so I installed 
reCAPTCHA in the hopes of deterring our little vandal. It didn't seem to 
slow him down though, so I just disabled it.

I very much want this to be a project that people think "Hey, I've got 
five minutes, I'll add X" and not worry about being hassled. I guess 
figuring out how to best do that will come with experience. :)

Again, thank you very much!
