Very good idea!

Thanks!

Maybe even crosslink, with the first post in the continued tree pointing (with
an explicit label) back to the root of the previous tree too.

(it's true that the searcher will no doubt find both threads if their
keywords are picked with some care, but this is a small additional aid
which should not take too much effort to do and will certainly not HURT
things)

And it helps future readers when the linkage is spelled out explicitly.

Yes!
