Re: Political debate in the Intel thread In general, I have to agree with this. It would be nice if the monitors could shunt political subthreads to their own independent thread. At times I like to read the political postings, but wish there were some way to identify them as such before accessing them. >With SI's very primitive "threading" capabilities, where basically all 135,000 Intel messages are in this gigantic "thread," and where subject lines are just whatever the first line of the message is (e.g., "Hey, Paul, like, Intel sucks!"), it's very hard to have coherent discussions of _anything_. It's tough to wade through all of the Bush-bashing, Clinton-bashing, Gore-bashing, Reagan-bashing, energy policy-bashing, Monica-bashing, Democrat-bashing, California-bashing, Republican-bashing, gas guzzler-bashing, tree hugger-bashing, and bashing in general...to get to the true meat of this thread: AMD-bashing vs. Intel-bashing.< Recently, I have found that the best way to separate the wheat from the chaff is to find a posting with a promising entry line then, upon verifying it is a worthwhile topic, follow it back to the root and from their forward through the responses.
