Why cant people open NEW threads when they change topic?
It was pure chance I saw Spiders reply about Climbing Hydrangers.
I'd given up on "pruning these young apple trees" as I have nothing to
add to the thread.
The same goes for "What goes around, comes around" which after a long
thread changed to "Plumb tree" with now 45 posts and very little trimming.
Come on peoples, you can do better than this.

I have visions of somebody going around with a carpenter's level, checking
those trees.

David when I asked this question of changing subjects and leaving long
threads open and not trimming, on the changing subjects side, I was told in
no uncertain terms it is 'thread drift'. I took it that it was 'allowed'.
With regards to the trimming aspect, I have drawn attention to the Rules and
Regulations that trimming/snipping/pruning should take place. However on
this forum, there seems to be those who write their own rules

You can set Forte Agent to do that automatically. I can't remember
where the option is as I haven't changed it for years.

I've tried that in Unison but it doesn't work. I can't even remember
what I used to use but it was possible to type a new thread name and
then put "was xyz" in brackets.

Thread drift is one thing but when you put in a new header and a new
topic then it should be posted as a new thread

Should have said, at least you can tell my posts from his, but not everyone
can.

You have been told many times before that there are no rules and
regulations on this newsgroups. There is advice, but that is a different
matter.

That would be the sensible way of doing it, so one could still follow
the old thread, if required. TBH, I find keeping threads intact helps
me to look back at what's been said earlier. It's essential when
replying to a post point by point or paragraph by paragraph.

When I was younger and in the thick of the computing world I was not
technologically challenged very often. Now I'm oldish and retired I
find gardening to be a challenge.

much as creakiness.
