rleishman gave me the idea here.
Would it be possible to warn a member, just before his message gets submitted, that in the mean time another message has been posted to the thread?
Thanks Ross Leishman for the great idea!

I'd probably post as well. The annoying situation is when someone writes exactly what you wrote (or better) but just gets in before you. When you re-read the entire post top down, it's a bit of a "Dur,Fred".
Perhaps something more subtle: When you hit the reply button, a visible note is attached to the thread with the respondents handle and the current time. The note could be removed at the next post, or removed manually by the user who triggered it.
eg. rleishman began a reply on Fri, 24 February 2006 20:25

I don't think that it is worth the effort. I would probably still post my reply, but may edit it down or delete it ( a moderator privilege that perhaps could be extended to a posters' own posts). But the reply always goes to the end of the list. [Dumb comment: Can we sort a thread by sub-thread, a la "other forums(?)".] Okay, "tree view".

Upd: Correct dumb comment.
