In addition to what Cameron stated about items getting lost or 
overlooked, posting a reply to an earlier post also muddles things up. 
For example, look at the highlighted message here:
http://markjensen.googlepages.com/thread.png

Looking at the dates of the message, and the one it is a reply to, you 
can see that it is responding to an item that has been dead for over 
half a year, and the new post is extremely out-of-place in a threaded view.
