And just to cool things down a bit,
When i wrote my answer these was only one post , your original one.
They do not necessarily appear in exactly the same order that they are made and some on on the same network as the forum uses will have their posts arrive before others, it is just a network thing.
Also if I opened up the thread and while I was writing the answer 20000 other people post, I do not know that till I hit the submit button, just the way this particular site works.
My site softwear send you a warning that the thread has changed from the time you opened it till the time you posted just in case you need to change your post.
While it seems just like a face to face conversation it is really like a bunch of people with note pads & paper
