This is the equivalent of "Original title [fixed]" we see on Reddit. The attempt to generate publicity by submitting a new item instead of contributing to the original discussion. I think this highlights a problem with sites like these: They are terrible for discussion. Discussions are practically dead after a couple of hours. The deeper a discussion tree goes, the fewer people (the contributors) have a useful way to noticing new posts. I have no idea how to do it better, just thought I would share this thought.

If only there was some other means of social collaboration. Threads tend to enforce a hierarchy that is not enforced in normal social situations. If several root level comments all present the same idea, maybe it would make sense to respond to all of them with a single well structured response. The only way to do that with threads is via copy/paste. If only there was less structure. Maybe a collaborative note-taking technology is the solution?

Let me look into that.
