Moderators: Point of Order
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 The Bat! listers, Jan just sent a reminder about blank subjects and that prompted me to ask this question. Please note that I didn't reply to the other thread. However, many people do reply to the last message they read rather than creating a new thread and my question concerns the proper way to handle this. Should the moderators immediately start a new thread before it gets buried in something many of us may already be skipping? Is this even possible? Does anyone have something else for the moderators to think about this weekend?

I'd suggest that whoever answers to such a message, takes the effort to turn their reply into a new message, thereby achieving the goal: the ensuing thread will be pulled out of the old, existing one, and will be clearly visible to all. While I do realise that in this way we suddenly might see two new threads emerge, or perhaps even three, when more people answer and create new threads, I don't think it's fair for us to sit and wait until the moderators do something.
