Hi - you need to get your head around topics, threads and posts matey....
Topics are the top level - e.g. ColdFusion.
Threads are the conversations - e.g. Writing a message board in ColdFusion
Posts are the messages based around the thread - e.g. Message Board Thread
confusion
If you ID the topic - e.g. T1
Then ID the Thread - e.g. TH1
Then ID the Posts - e.g. P1
You can create a unique key for each post - e.g. T1Th1P1
Then you can create an mapping to each post - e.g. T1Th1P2 - is in the same
topic and thread as T1Th1P1
So, in answer to your question - each person who responds to TH1 IS in the
same thread, but there subject posts should be grouped by P1, P2, P3, etc...
I think!!! :)

Subject: Message Board Threads confusion
hey guys i wanna build a message board, but am having difficulty with the
concept of threads. Let's say there is a message, and 10 people respond to
that same message. Are those ten people in the same thread? or not? But
let's say that person B replied a message From person A, then person C
replied to person B, then D to C, and so on. Is that considered a thread?
What if person X Y and J responding individually to person C's message.
does that mean A,C,B,X,Y, and J are all in the same thread? confusing!!!
