Oops you have not been on wiki-discussion pages say of size 0.2 M, which frequent comments. Just to add a comment to check whether I have used the wikipedia syntax correctly is very time consuming (especially if the connection is slow).
- I can write this reply change its format indenting and the like at will,
- and have not to bother whether my reply gets edited
- and the list offer me a reasonable threading such that I can find my posting and the relevant answers in an instant.
And these points you don't find convenient?
