Wall
A wall is a message board, like a facebook wall and is one of the core elements of Pages, Profiles, Groups, Stores and Events.
A wall has posts. Each post can have comments. When there are too many comments, it will only show the latest view (ala facebook), you can either expand the comments on the same page, or click on the post to go to a new page which just shows that post and all the comments. This part is to allow it to function more like a message board, when conversations can get more involved.
The first, and simplest kind of post is just text, but others would be special (like a poll, picture, question, etc), show content from elsewhere on the site (e.g. an event), or show status information (e.g. someone joined the group).
People who have not commented can subscribe to receive notifications about the post, people who comment are automatically subscribed but can unsubscribe when they wish.
