Thread:Talk:Flow/Auto-archiving/reply (64)

I disagree.

First, right now, there are hundreds of examples of people replying to years-old conversations without outdenting. You could probably find dozens of such examples in my own contributions alone. It is universal if the years-later reply is the second reply in the discussion, and it is very common for short discussions.

Second, as I understand it, messages that you personally have read will be collapsed (to save screen real estate, which you were complaining about above), and all the messages that you personally have not read will not be collapsed. So I don't think that people will have any more difficulty in figuring out what the most recent reply is about than they do now.
