Thread mode is a form of discussion where our community holds a conversation.

There are at least four ways you can contribute to a page in thread mode:

1. You can ADD a comment furthering the conversation. Please sign your comments like this, especially when writing in the first person.

2. You can EDIT older comments signed by others to improve the flow. Rearranging, merging and editing comments is a real contribution to communication if done with care and respect. But Rather than edit something with which one disagrees, perhaps changing its meaning, the WikiMaster will draw a line and comment below the line

3. If you see several conversations going at once, you can SPLIT them apart, putting all comments about a given subject on their own page. Leave a short summary with the name of the new page in the old page.

4. If comments seem to be converging then think through whether there is a TopicName that represents the convergence. Add a new page with that TopicName and try placing an OpeningStatement on that page that is your first shot at capturing the convergence.
