An argument by way of which I came around to Antone’s suggested
“start-of-thread,” though I was going to suggest “thread-start.”

But then I thought, we already use mail header lingo with
“in-reply-to;” why not borrow another term from there and call it
“references?” Yes, I know it’s not the same as the References:
header. But the ultimate purpose (to trace the thread in
newsreaders) is kind of similar, and more importantly, the term
seems to fit the sort of relationship we’re trying to describe
quite closely.

If this is deemed a poor choice, then I fall back to
“thread-start.”
