I'd say that that depends on the conversation. If there is a long,
drawn-out discussion with many parties, than yeah, it's crap. However
for purposes of having a talk-page (atleast a talk-page about a
relatively non-controversial topic), it's awesome. Comments like
"Statement X sounds wierd to me, can somebody source it?" or something
similar (which is what is contained in the vast majority of wikipedia
talk-pages), comments which draws only a few replies works very well
on wikis. Honestly, I can't think of a better format for them.
