Babble Version 3 Alpha 5 and Responsive Height

To save space and condense, have you considered consolidating messages when the same user posts 2 or more times in a row?

Example, currently its like this:

Person 1: Hi
Person 1: How are you?
Person 1: Anything new?
Person 2: Hello!

What about instead it would be like:

Person 1: Hi
How are you?
Anything new?

Person 2: Hello!

It may not seem like much space saved at first glance, but for each message with how it currently is, there is an avatar for each message, and the line-height of each one, etc. When condensed it would only show the avatar and poster once, and height would be based off the combined messages only.

Hopefully this makes sense, otherwise I can try and whip up an example image.

i've thought about grouping, i have commented out code for it, but it was a lot of buggy. i might revisit it after v3 releases.
