Dear Examiner Gaynor,

A quick response to your office action. You stated, “There are no discussion threads shown on this particular website excerpt nor are there any “conversations” among the users of the applicant’s website.” However, in fact the website has many “conversations” between the editorial staff and the users. Here is a link http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-disable-php-execution-in-certain-wordpress-directories/

You need to scroll down to the bottom of the articles where the comments are posted. Accordingly, submitting another specimen like that shown in the link be sufficeient?

Thank you,

Matt
