JSH: Stacking threads
Oh, one cool technique for advanced Usenet users is stacking threads where you'll have about 3 threads stacked one after the other by the timing of your replies! The most advanced users can do that to guide people along subjects quite deliberately.
It's kind of a hard trick to do and requires a bit of luck, but it's one I play at often enough.
Oh, so yeah, if you reach a certain level you need multiple threads for many reasons, like when your competition tries to drown out your original thread with nonsense replies, or when you need to do stacking!!!
I like to stack.
You should keep threads down to a minimum though because you get diminishing returns with too many and begin to liquidate your own message. You spam yourself!!! Lately I like to keep no more than 5 at a time, but feel most comfortable with 2.
