Okay, let's try this again. Michael asked a question and we'd really like 
your feedback here:

>I need some design advice. The first question is about threading. Lets say 
>that a list post starts off with one subject and then changes to another 
>subject. The new subject is still in response to the old subject but may 
>deal with something new.
>i.e. a thread starts out about MM sales practices and then changes to a 
>talk about CF & DNS. The threading (i.e. message in response to what other 
>message) is intact but the subject changes half way through.
>Should each thread be its own entity, even with subject changes or should 
>a subject change make it a new thread?
>Next has to do with the display of messages in a thread. For each message, 
>would you like to see:
>the posters name?
>the posters email?
>posting date?
>true subject (see above)?
>anything else?
>These answers will help me design the new archives to be as user friendly 
>as possible. Thanks for your help.
>You can see the archives here:
>http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/
>It took me a few days to port over all the CF-Talk messages and thread 
>them. Indexing for verity searches is next. The indexes will be based on 
>the year, so if you want to search both this year and last, you have to 
>select two indexes to search through. It's needed to avoid monster indexes 
>or 250,000 messages each. Of course, if someone has a suggestion such as 
>having all the messages in a single index and can show that it will not be 
>a major problem, I'm all for it.
>Thanks again
