Well, I understand...but to me that is not the purpose of journaling.
It's more like you are wanting to use the journal for another purpose because it is the only workable outlet for it here. And I sympathize with that, but would still be very strongly opposed to changing the format of the journals to correspond with something that it wasn't set up for. I like that you can open it up and read the entries consecutively more like a book - a traditional journal - than a thread. It makes the space more your own. I view my journal like a scrap book and I do open it up and read what I wrote and how I 'decorated' it in the past, whereas, I almost never go back and read the comments after the fact.
But I'm sure you get my drift...I shut up now.
