tanteksandeepshetty - re: lost art of threading - I think the problems the author refers to bely the larger problem of email/discussion vs. capturing current state and iterating on current state.
tantekthat is, it's not that threading is a lost art, it's that threading is both too hard in email, and frankly itself gets you into confusing contexts very quickly, especially for anyone trying to go back to a thread and read it as a series of deltas.
tantekas soon as you feel a need for such deep threading, I think that's an indicator that you should be capturing current state on a wiki, rather than trying to improve email/forums. per: http://microformats.org/wiki/wiki-better-than-email
tantekpdurbin - wikis are easier to search/discover than email threads. doesn't matter if you're not a big believer in wikis in any absolute sense, email lists/threads/groups are less believable :)

erikmaarten!tell sandeepshetty My markup was faulty and I sent a mention/comment but there ended up being two mentions and no comment. And one with a faulty link at that - sorry! Think I've fixed the markup, and got better http reply this time. Give me a shout if my comment still wasn't parsed ok
barnabywalterspfefferle: not actively on my website. I might refine them and making them into an icon font — or if you wanted to add any to your font that’d be great

Loqipfefferle meant to say: or we remove the body part from the constructor and add it to the sendSupportedMentions and parse it only if "target" is empty
aaronpkpfefferle: you just want a way to make the post request to a URL you specify? Basically sending source=x&target=y as a pingback or webmention? and you know whether you're sending a pingback or a webmention and you know the endpoint?
tantekI'm focusing more on the presentation / interaction side (for readers/viewers) than on my own posting UI (which I have tons of UI designs / brainstorms for)
aaronpk|mbret: at my sisters house right now south of Milwaukie with a bunch of ppl, but were thinking about going somewhere to watch the fireworks later
