The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Folders can be nested indefinitely. The code that displays the main page is the same as the code that displays a folder deep. So that's why. I could do a check to see if you're at level 0, but it's not happening today.

Huh. I have the feeling that is supposed to make sense to me, but I hit the word code and suddenly, not so much.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Really? I figure most people will spin out at "nested." The rest isn't even in English.

It's a librarian thing, I guess.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Or an accountant thing. I don't much like it, either.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

It's just... Neat.

I actually think it makes the board look more cluttered, or at least more busy.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Ah. This is where you're discussing it.

One question, since I don't use enough of the board to really be entitled to an opinion: Subfolders?

The writer in me is growling softly and saying, no, the stuff inside those two headers are the subfolders. The headers themselves can't be sub; they've got the whiphand over all the little threads that go inside them, and are clearly Dom, not Sub....

I don't understand -- is that the same question that Perkins was asking? They are sub to the main level.

We're all sub to something, in the end.

What is even happening?

Is the word "subfolders" that shows up in the crimson bar hard coded in, or could you replace it with any text, ita?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

But Subfolders implies that there is a bigger folder, and unless you think of the whole board as a folder, it looks weird.

Maybe the whole board really is a folder in some way I don't get, as a non-coder, but for me, it looks wrong.
