I believe rk might have explained it once, but I glazed over. What exactly does it mean, anyway?

Here's what Flint once had to say on tail posting.

I agree with him, not to mention that everyone tail posts to the point that I believe the whole concept is moot.

All discussions are evolutionary in form. If we all stayed on topic all the time, there'd be some pretty boring and very short discussions on this board.

I still didn't get...until I backed up to post 35, which is rk's direct definition, but I do agree with Flint's views on the subject, as well as yours, and wolf's.

There seems to be a fine line between tail posting and commenting on a resolution.

That is true too, like many things. There is also a fine line between love and hate; genius and insanity...
what is it we were talking about?

In this case I had already changed my view on the subject and moved-on, in the other camp... then V comes along and starts arguing with me, quoting an old post, not having read the ones that came after it.
Tail-posting onto the end of the thread.
It is just how it sounds.
