Can I just chime in briefly and say I am glad this conversation is
happening before Flow goes into production. This is the kind of
conversation that leads to better software, especially when power users
participate in the discussion and influence design decisions long before
software is pushed out the door, and when production team members take the
time to thoughtfully engage in the discussion as they are here. Thanks all.

I see traditional email and newsgroup clients missing

list. Subthreading works perfectly fine in Thunderbird (but even in Outlook
Express!). Indenting is the one characteristic found in all wiki
conversations: subthreading can't be discarded based on gut feelings.
In my experience shepherding thousands of it.wiki conversations (mostly on
their own subpages), the biggest issue are offtopic and personal tangents,
hence the most important technical feature in wikitext is that I'm able to
easily tell apart, link and move subthreads.
