We agreed that every thread should be represented.
It's one post per thread, Cindy. Just one post per thread so that
people know that the thread exists. That's all. You pick one of the
posts, type something like "thread in which people discussed favorite
scenes, lasted until end of month" in the contents field, and that's
the end of it.
I hardly think that one post per thread clutters things up all that
much, and I think that there is value in documenting its existence.
