Not supported by the rules. A "message" is an arbitrary string of text delivered to a forum. What you are admitting here is that, despite having the same time-date stamp, we can't regard the message "simultaneously" but must impose an order in the words. Deciding to order words left to right, up to down (legitimate: CFJs 1267-1271) etc. is an arbitrary convention, which we by English custom follow a certain order to avoid the ambiguity (R754.1). Of course my "CFJ" fails. I was merely illustrating that the concept of "ordered but with the same time stamp" is one we use every day in Agora, even without legislation mandating it, and, in the absence of legislation, there is nothing against the rules with using the same common English "ordering principle" to separate complete statements, sentences, or actions as occurring in the sequence in which you would "naturally" read them on a page. -Goethe
