This is only the second time I've started a thread here, so please be gentle with a newbie! 
When I post replies to two different posts in the same thread in quick succession, the second reply is concatenated to the first reply, separated by a horizontal rule. This behavior is not always desirable since the second reply may get "lost" in the clutter if the first reply is lengthy. However, if I wait for a certain amount of time before posting the second reply, it will get posted as a separate reply in the thread. Couple of questions:
