I still think that a threading and collapsing model as in http://tweakers.net/nieuws/101962/google-maakt-leeftijdsrating-verplicht-voor-android-apps.html#reacties <http://tweakers.net/nieuws/101962/google-maakt-leeftijdsrating-verplicht-voor-android-apps.html#reacties> makes a lot more sense. It’s limited in width, readable, collapsible, has threading with indenting, has a maximum amount of indenting, and is a tech website that is also very intensive, and all over the place. DJ
