I'm being shown threaded mode for some reason, while my preferences say otherwise.

They're only useful for loooooong threads, such as the ones on Slashdot (and we know how brainless the quality of discussion is there).

But we're not threaded by default? You must have inadvertently changed a setting somewhere.
Well, I somehow got converted to threaded mode, while my preferences claimed I didn't...
