Again, we're back to the original clarification between
"discussion" and "information." How many times have I stated that tiered format is not good for discussion? ;)

Again, back to the importance of organization. Tiered format makes it easier for moderators to move posts to where they belong (stated in Comments).

Also, it is important to distinguish between "Voy format" and tiered format.
