>Ok, my apologies. I understood your previous post as regarding the negative side of the discussion and that's why you would rather not respond. I agree about the thread drift issues. I guess UT doesn't break threads away to new ones when they start drifting.

No, because if we would do that it would become a real mess.

For example, some would want to keep it as is so they can read everything even if it's a change of topic. Some, after such a potential thread break, would discuss about the initial topic even in the thread break portion which would make it impossible to link back to the original thread. Those are some reasons given as examples.
