> often a non-contributing comment like "me too".
If there were different opinions or questions like "IMO, hardwood is the
best for this application", or "IMO, Plywood is the best for this
application", and another top posted with reply like "me too" or "I agree",
etc., one has to scroll to the bottom to see which opinion or question they
are agreeing with. Typically, top posters include a full quote, so scrolling
the full length of the quote is required. I guess this can be abused by both
top and bottom posters. I guess there is no one size fits all.

Planipatch is for horizontal applications and interior use only, but I
see they have other products that might do the trick.
I can get it to a stable surface but there are some craters with the
biggest up to about 1/2 in deep and maybe 4 in wide.
My concern is that the patching job won't last. I see patched driveways
all the time where the patch material has failed completely.

Take advantage of the rough look, and sandblast it....
No paint, no patch.....rough concrete look.
I know...I have art in my blood and do lots of different things with
concrete and sandblasted concrete looks fine.......

I have never, ever, understood the fetish some folks have about top-posting.
Clearly, it should be the preferred method, as it makes more sense. For
that reason, I will always follow that format.
