Representing Every Thread

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.
