Hehe, that person was me. Yep, I've been thinking about it more, and I
agree with you. I think it would be just fine to have comments without
nesting. Going out of our way to support deep comment threads would
help proxies while distracting from the high-value, original content
that attracts people (or at least me) to gopher & gemini in the frst
place.

Yay!

Hmm, we could just use multiple quotes, right? One per paragraph?
