Yes, I understand that, and I am probably alone in my opinion, but I
think that if an initial post is important enough to be placed in a
given group, then the thread should live in that group. I am not a fan
of having to chase discussions around to different groups. I might be
mistaken, but I didn't part of this thread break off into
lugnet.admin.general? Then again, I also use my knife as a backstop for
my peas.

Again, I have to wonder so what? Beat the dead horse. If I find the
thread that annoying I could just filter it. Is an undying thread more a
problem when using the web interface, where an an undying thread keeps
taking up space and cannot be filtered?

Again, I was just thought that someone who doesn't know when to stop
talking (me right now for example) doesn't seem to be in the same league
as someone who is abusive and profane.
