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.

What about sex, life and the meaning of the universe? ;-)
