That said, I think modern forum software like Discourse strike a good balance
with linear threads. One key feature being the ability to spawn off a new thread
from an existing one. This actually fixes two issues at once. One is it actually
makes general thread size smaller, making it easier to follow a whole thread
linearly. Second it features built-in support to creating an new topic that
spawns from a previous discussion. In NNTP you can rename the title, but it's a
bit of hack, different clients handle it differently, etc.
DFeed handles that rather well. See this thread as a fine example:

You may argue that there are better ways to present this, but it's pretty clear
that NNTP is not holding this back.
