ThreadMode
ThreadMode occurs when a WikiPage hosts a discussion. Each participant in a ThreadMode discussion sets hir comments off from the preceding comment by changing the indentation level or typeface and/or putting a horizontal line between the comments.
ThreadMode is a conversation by interested parties. It exists more in contrast to the bland, definitive, "this is how it is" DocumentMode. Indeed, a threaded conversation shows many viewpoints, shows the arguments for the viewpoints, lends energy to the viewpoints, and is typically the fastest way to elicit all the viewpoints.
Examples
- Here is a SemiAnonymous comment in ThreadMode.
Here is a signed comment that has been set off using a different level of indentation. --BCSS
This is a comment that has been set off from the previous using a change of typeface. It is signed using a psuedonym that makes it a signed SemiAnonymous comment. -- WhiteHat
This comment is set off using a horizontal line separating it from the preceding comments.
