Soren, I agree with CorruptedShadow in that I would like to stick to posting order as much as possible and that personal conversations like the one you're attempting to initiate should not happen in the face of larger events (ie., Lao's discussion with the priests). 

No offense taken, of course, I fully support you expressing your opinion. I think keeping with the posting order is just a better way to go. By this I don't mean a specific order like Soren, CS, Wayward, etc., but rather only posting once in a given round of posts. It has always worked out fine for me and avoids the 1x1 feel that CS has described. That said, your post wasn't out of line, and sometimes it does work out that way, but I would prefer to keep the posting relatively organized.
