if there's a way to not have all comments show up in the same "conversation"

I do... why do you ask?

hmmm. I think so because mine don't. I'll check my settings.

that's precisely why I DON'T have my comments sent to my gmail account.

it irritates the piss out of me not to be able to see each comment as a separate entry.

mine normally do show up in the same conversation but that doesn't bother me. i just use it as a reminder to log into the admin area.

See, I prefer them all in one conversation, easier to manage that way!

i want them separate. it's so much easier to reply to them when they are separate

now i have no clue who i replied to!

Sees your point. Hmmm.

my comments are in separate conversations unless the person doesn't "show" their email on blogger.
