Dr. Bob: Thread Patterns

Posted by Janelle on April 6, 2002, at 0:21:24

Dr. Bob,
I noticed on PB you moved some threads I started toward the bottom into previously existing threads further up.
I understand why you did this - to keep all matters relevant to a particular thread WITH that thread ...
However, the reason I started a new thread toward the bottom was because the original one got SOOOOOOOOO long that I became concerned that people I was trying to reach either would not go back to the original one or if they scanned it, due to its length, they would miss my most recent questions there.
I figured if I moved my questions down into a new thread, it would be more likely to get their attention.
So, I guess it's a "no-no" to start a new thread lower down to continue a previous thread further up, even if that previous thread has become very long?
