Sorry to be a pain but I didn't quite catch that? XD
I'm also puzzled by the caveman communication comment, did I miss something?
Basically I think anything unencrypted is caveman but that's 98% of my communication currently because people staunchly refuse to learn and whine about the inconvenience and not to mention the mindblowingly blithering idiots in politics who actively undermine and have hysterics about encryption being what it is because some bullshit about national security
I am yet to understand why someone would leave a simple one word answer to a comment on their blog, or none at all, when there is some much to gain from engaging with more alacrity
Some comments don't really leave themselves open to much more of a response than your basic "thanks", and some of us are terrible at starting or continuing conversations and "thanks" is literally the best we can manage XD If I'm capable of thinking I'll sometimes try to ask a question to trigger more conversation and sometimes that leads to threads and sometimes it doesn't :)
I suspect there may be some technical difficulty in that when the thing was designed it doesn't seem like any provision was made for permissions which meas nothing can be private securely enough (it's been forever since I read the whitepaper so I could be remembering completely incorrectly and/or mixing it up with somthing else). Which is fine as I don't see it necessary for any one thing to fulfil all needs. On the one hand it would be infinitely more convenient to just be able to just private message someone on steem (like you can do with every other socnet) as you then don't have to track them down on Discord etc (assuming they even have Discord etc), on the other, eggs and baskets XD
Mine typically do, especially when it's someone I'm communicating with for the first time. My comments here relate only to my replies, I can't speak for others. Anyway, those that do the old one word comments generally are out of my mind before I've even clicked away, never to return to their blog.

Here's that I.T. person talk my pea-brain doesn't understand. 😜
The caveman remark was in respect of the prehistoric way I had to communicate with that user. Rather than having one comment thread, the conversation happened over multiple ones, multiple different posts, and the comment threads attached to each one.
I'm sorry, there's section of your reply I can't as the text is small and I don't have my glasses...I'm sure it's bloody awesome though.
LoL! Just coz you're not very good with computers doesn't mean you're a pea-brain XD
I have the opposite problem, I do digital art and I can make websites which apparently means I also know how to fix problems that crop up, and I probably helped perpetuate that completely inaccurate stereotype because I can fix some things x_x
LoL that multithread conversation sounds like most of my conversations XD
Bwahahahahahaaa that sub text (not to be confused with subtext) is good for something XD I make it smaller because it's not important but I still want to say it.
How do you do the small text? I don't actually know...(
Peabean brain and all.)<sub>small text</sub>or<sup>small text</sup>First one gives you chemical equations (like C8H10N4O2) and the second one gives you citations (thing you're citing[index number] and exponentiation (bn).
Or in our abuse of it, stuff that's not important but we want to say it anyway or image captions (until everything supports caption tags) XD
Ah cool, that helps!
Haha...It works!
