I agree. And if it were a lot easier to search for past threads on an idea… But 
StackOverflow couldn’t solve that problem in over a decade of trying, without 
the limitations of email underneath (you can’t rename the subject of an old 
thread, link it to a later one, etc.), and all of their quasi-competitors have 
done even worse, so that’s not a serious proposal, just a blue-sky wish.
