Sequential Posting

I know it's not a violation of the rules, but I wonder if it could be strongly suggested that people not sequential post. At a minimum, it's inelegant. Generally, it's irritating, to have to scroll through the same gobbledygook of avatars, slogans and sigs, just to read another short post from the same poster as the one above. And the one above that. And the one above that. I must admit I finally cracked this morning, when I was catching up on one thread and saw no fewer than six posts in a row from one poster. Basic netiquette says don't, and I figure that people do it out of ignorance, laziness or general buttheadedness, but a recommendation not to do so could help with all of these - perhaps combined with a pointer to the multi-quote function, for those who really don't know better/how.

Sometimes, there's a good reason for a sequential post, mostly having to do with time since the last post when few will see the edit. Sometimes a dramatic shift in theme could warrant it. And sometimes, it's just going to happen. But six in a row? Puh-leeze.
