Regarding quoting, I like sp4rk's suggestion to indent the reply and have it under the original post. I would like to comment on a post in the middle of the thread, and my reply is added at the end of the thread. The original poster will have no idea that somebody replied to his post. If we are thinking of space, then this will save lots of space by not quoting. This will also encourage the discussion as posts will be better tied. Having a lot of posts in a thread in confusing and as soon as it crosses over 100 you start to loose track where the discussion is going. Haven't we seen many times that people will just read the last post, which is completely different than what the original post intended and people reply to that post and then mods have to redirect the discussion. When post number in thread reaches high number, people wont put new stuff in it and start new post, which leads to duplicate threads. There should be a function for original poster to delete irrelevant posts, or for housekeeping purpose original poster/mods should summarize the discussion every 10th post and then delete those posts, this will keep the discussion current and will keep the post number in check.
I thought putting TeslaOwners logo was a good judgement, it is Tesla related, enhances our community, not a profit website which sells stuff and blends in the overall color scheme of the website. I sincerely think that TO will bring the community closer, and we haven't abused TMC's resources. As I learned that TMC may not be comfortable with promoting other websites, I stopped contacting members using TMC's resources.
I would like to know from the mods, if they really consider TO as a competing website or not? in Yes or No fashion. If yes, it will very unfortunate thing to hear, Folks at TO never intended to compete, always wanted to collaborate. I still didnt get answer to my question, why would TO promote TMC forums if they are competing? If not a competing website then why not have a link here. What I got from the discussion that I can only link TMC page or thread and no external link.
If we are not fighting... do not have any hidden agenda, then can we work together? I understand partnership may be too much to ask, but how about support. Why not set up a conference call and clear the air once and for all.
