Its because people keep making pointless one-line replies, making it really hard to follow because for every one update or post with pics there are a hundred "nice tank" "jealous" "looking good" "can't wait to see it finished" type replies. Its a real shame that people do it, threads like this one, fugupuf's Rare Fish thread, the guy who made a 57000g tank, just about anything by JohnPTC, every "build thread" in the DIY forum, etc etc are all ruined in similar fashion. Its one thing to ask a genuine question related to the topic, but all the "nice work" and "great setup" posts are just a big waste of space and make following a thread from start to finish painfull, IMO...
rant over.
