You appear to have missed my comment about the lack of a mechanism. The only way to comment on a vB is to a message. There's no given way to comment to more than one. I'd have to do it by hand, making sure to get attributions right and appropriately set up quote and b commands.

It's not worth my time. If the people behind vB want to come up with a way to do this, more power to them. I can think of a way, but I won't bother to code it: that's their problem.

repeat until out of messages:
read a message
specify, maybe with a button, an interest in commenting on it.
end repeat
Press "comment" button
all messages are included, with attributions, in a comment dialog as per normal.

I could see working with that, but it's not there yet.

(edit) while they're at it, they can add a "nested list" capability. Hey, HTML can do it, why can't vB?
