None of that post seems connected to /quirks... please understand that the reason we want one subject of conversation per thread is not to discourage conversation, but to make conversation easy to find. We want--even need--people to reply to other threads, indicating they're interested in those feature requests or bug reports. But for that to be possible, people need to be confident that conversation about a given topic is only happening in the thread with the subject matching that conversation. We don't want people to have to go wandering through every single seemingly unrelated thread.
