The nice thing about threads is that they act as natural containment
boundaries for off-topicness. It's both cheap and easy to ignore
things at the level of a thread, and the incremental offtopicity of a
post in an already off-topic thread approaches zero.

(Srsly, and without sarcasm, if you don't have a threaded
mail/newsreader, you don't know what you're missing out on. It makes a
*huge* efficiency difference.)
