    So, it sounds (actually, ‘reads)’ like a treatise written by someone indoctrinated into the ‘Linux - C++’ ideology (theocracy? The Religion of IT? Way back in the ‘olden days’, we referred to ‘getting a job at IBM’ as ‘entering the Priesthood’ ). The term ‘instance’ comes directly out of the obscure-to-the-masses lexicon of C++, Please, translate your indoctrinated terminology into something more identifiable and familiar to the masses in order for us plebians to follow it.

    Or at least provide a ‘definition of terms’ translation service, written without any reference to exclusively in-house terminology in the description.

    Also, it would be really, really useful to modify the ‘messages’ coding such that, when clicking to link to the post in ‘messages’ to see the original post, the reader went directly to their post in the thread, instead of starting at the top and having to scroll through page after page of other irrelevant posts in order to see just the activity on their original post.
