I hope one of the new features in the soon to be revamped a2k allows the thread creator to throw digressors off the thread if they digressing from the topic by a few hundred thousand miles.

@tsarstepan,

Threaded comments make it so that the digressions don't take over a thread, they just spark their own thread of comments that others can choose to follow or not. With the linear comments you don't get to follow one line of conversation very long, because any digression interrupts what is essentially one monolithic conversation.

Because digressions are both inevitable and often useful, the threaded view (though a less beautiful UI) is going to dramatically improve discussions here in this regard.

I would like to take the opportunity to thank you for naming the spider thread in my honor.
