Is it possible for Drupal forums to work so that every response that is created is in relationship to the original thread post?

The purpose of this would be to avoid the constantly narrowing reply field and make all responses be "in order" relative to the original post, instead of creating unused screen real estate, and having posts jump back and forth in time as one reads a page from top to bottom.

Thanks! It is very well possible this has been asked before, and I'm asking a classic newbie question. I apologize if I cause any gnashing of the teeth by asking this. Also, apologies if I'm asking this in the wrong forum. I'm not asking this as a support question, but as a question about general function and concept.

Are you asking specifically about doing this on drupal.org or for your own sites? If the latter, you can set whether comments are displayed threaded or not on the content type edit page-- note this doesn't affect the actual structure, just the appearance. To actually force all comments to be replys to the main post, see the http://drupal.org/project/flatcomments module.

Sorry for being unclear; I wasn't talking about drupal.org itself.

Thanks for making that resoundingly clear for me, and pointing out both routes.
