This is your fifth top-level reply. It becomes a bit overwhelming when one person is the entire comment screen. Please, in the future, collect your thoughts and put them into one comment.

Isn't there something to be said for splitting up the comments, so you don't get a single thread that covers five different points and nests forever?

No, I don't think there is. They are all still broadly on the same topic. Imagine if I made each sentence here a separate reply. I mean, they are separate sentences and could conceivably be responded to individually, but it would still be pretty silly, wouldn't it?

The only case I can see for doing multiple sibling comments is if you have several truly unrelated thoughts that each deserve a deep treatment. But that's not what's going on here. As cheery noted elsewhere, he/she simply didn't know you could edit comments.
