You cant always get a row boat team to put their oars in the water in the same direction at the same time (unless you lace their oars together with rope and rod).
Imagine a script that filters out any line containing a previously posted ~12 character string, where the line does not begin with a quotation mark. Each line of reply would require the injection of a single quotation mark, oar the line/s would be scripted out.
Less draft and smoother sailing ;) for top and bottom posters.
