An observation

I got to a point of pain with the "Re: How can D become adopted at my
company?" thread so I thought I would say something.

This list often has threads that go to 300-400 contributions or more.
After about 20-25 contributions the topic completely changes and is
often completely unrelated to the subject.  Quite quickly I think TL;DR
and so simply delete all future messages on that thread even though this
means more than likely missing good contributions. The mis-match of
subject and topic of the contained contribution is impossible to deal
with, so I think why bother? If people would change the subject field
and/or switch to a new thread with a new subject, it would enable much
easier appreciation of the content, and hence more likely contribution.
