You are right of course, but when a thread about editors goes more than 5
levels deep, it has become an editor war.
A recommendation thread like you describe, is a flat thread with the
majority of branches on the root message (the OP).

I only wanted to cut off a branch that was going too deep, to give more
visibility to the interesting branches. It's like pruning a shrubbery.

Ni!
