I've started to move discussions to a new thread as soon as the topic changes significantly. The main reason being that in searching the archives I have often come across loooong threads that touched the subject I was looking for once and then discussed something else for the next 100 messages. And since you can't be sure you have to read carefully through all of them. I also like the fact that I can clearly see that a threat is moving on to something else (perhaps something I'm not interested in) so that I don't need to follow this new thread. At least that's the theorie. My problem is not different threads but the temptation of sending instant replies. I just needed to take the time, read all new stuff and then respond to avoid this. -- Ferdinand Soethe
