(much like slashdot.org forums). For now, we just create a new page

made it easy by making the discussion page a template (DiscussionPageTemplate),

<DIV></DIV>Hi Rick. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try out
PageComment2, and I like it, though it's not what I'm looking for, in that it
doesn't allow comments on comments.<BR><BR>TiddlyWiki has nestable block quotes,
which is more like what I'm thinking of. In MoinMoin wikis, I've seen how
people simply use increasing nesting for each level of reply, which is the
opposite of the email convention. Maybe that's good enough for now.
