The thing I absolutely love about LUGNET is the threading goodies Todd has
worked into the news server. That makes the Web interface more powerful than
most news readers in many ways. And this help threads to *sustain* a life of
their own, rather than be constrained to a single topic of discussion. It
makes for a more "real" discussion.
I *think* that's a Good Thing. :-,

There was discussion on this earlier, but it was dismissed by Todd (and I
agreed with his reasoning) due to the probability of abuse. For example,
getting the deepest thread is simply be a function of how many times you can
reply to your own message. And stuff like that.
