Can you explain why you believe this distinction is harder to make 
now?

SSSusan:
FWIW, if this is in reference to comments I was making, I was talking 
about the benefit of responding to multiple posts *within* the same 
thread in one response.  So that if A, B & C have each written about 
Snape as a crappy teacher, and you want to counter their comments, 
you snip parts of all three and respond to them in *one* post, rather 
than in three separate responses.

I agree that trying to combine multiple threads, if they are 
UNrelated, could be problematic.  OTOH, if there are two or three 
concurrent Snape threads, it might not hurt to combine responses to a 
couple in one post (imo, of course).
