Thread:Talk:Flow/Auto-archiving/reply (66)

Who cares if people reply to an old tangent? They do it now, and the sky still hasn't fallen. If the new comment is about the tangent, then the contents of the non-tangent 'host' thread are pretty irrelevant anyway, aren't they?

If it really bother you in a given instance, then split the thread to remove the tangent, just like you do now. The only real difference is in how you will do this. The new method will involve clicking a button or menu item. The old method involved deleting colons. Your general discussion-management options, and the end result, are still fundamentally the same.
