In many of the newsgroups posting is so rapid that it
is very difficult going back through all the posts looking
for the start of various threads.
It would be nice if there was a way for the home page
of any newsgroup to show ONLY the first post in a thread
instead of all the recent posts. This could be configured
by the lugnet moderator for that group or perhaps by personal
preference.
If anyone else thinks this is a good idea,
please let Todd reply and let Todd know what you think.

In the meantime, Paul, perhaps you could temporarily give up your penchant for
changing the subject line in mid-thread. Many people do it occasionally for
legitimate topic changes, but you do it on virtually every post, when there
doesn’t seem to be a good reason. It makes it easier to skim through recent
messages in the forum if you leave the subject line intact - which sounds to me
like it helps address the very problem you were talking about.
Cheers,
