They will reply/bump a thread to discuss a topic with the most tangental connection possible!

One problem, of course, is that you're in the middle of a flowing conversation, and starting a new thread is like trying to get everyone up and saying, "Hey, let's continue this conversation in another room!"

I have never started a thread.

Because so many of them have English-usage errors in the titles!

I've started tons of threads! I even started a thread on the subject of who has posted the most threads.

It's because we all live in very adverse conditions.

I have an averse reaction to unnecessary thread proliferation too.
