The problem is, OP, that you probably aren't seeing all the posts. If you are just viewing
[lit] through the /lit/ board, you don't see the green posts, the posts with letters in their ids, or anything numberless. Together, those make up about 40-70 percent of [lit], depending on the day. So conversation will appear disjointed and spastic, because you won't be getting the full picture.

I actually just flipped over to the /lit/ interface to make this post, and it's pretty funny how unintelligible [lit] is like this.
