I am with you on the 'missing' a reply to a reply, i've apologized in the past even though its the interface that is at fault I (we) think.
If the conversation goes off-topic, I guess it would be up to the original Poster (OP) to decide if they want to allow off-topic conversations to continue or if they want to strictly control the replies so that they are on-topic.
This is unlikely to ever happen - freedom of the blockchain - unless you wish to flag.
If they never see that the conversation takes a fork, they won't be able to say something to stop that unwanted behavior.
True, but people must understand that the text on your blog that is not written by you, isn't controlled by you. You can up and down vote it, but never stop what is being said.
Thanks for the discussion, i'm going to need another coffee :)
I understand that. I was thinking more like politely asking people to stay on topic. Most people would respect the OP's page I suspect. There are always the few that have no respect.
