A "Thread" on a message board is generally considered as one post, and all 
the responses to that post (As I understand it). I would think something 
along the lines of...

100 (Message number, first post in a thread)
         100.1 - First reply
         100.2 - Second Reply
                 100.2.1 - First reply to second reply
                         100.2.1.1 - Next sub reply
                 100.2.2 - Second reply to second reply
         100.3 - Third reply

Maybe something like that?
