Discussing the usage of the TEA thread
pcprogrammer:
Dave, is it an option to start a poll in the test equipment section, where the remaining members can vote for moving the entire TEA thread from the Test Equipment section to the new TEA section.
Some of the members seem to want this, so lets see what the rest wants.
Just a simple yee or nee vote, and express that it is basically just for the regulars posting in the old TEA thread.
Indicate that the whole playground is moved and that members that have posted in it will still see it in their list of what they have posted in.

Ok, just so we are clear. Do you care what happens to the current TEA thread or not? i.e. maybe moving it as per pcprogammers poll request?
If you are no longer using it yourself then I'd say it then becomes a community decision. And by community I mean the remaining TEA community users here.

Any competent email client has something better: the web forum mechanism based on thread title, plus two distinct and useful ways of displaying threaded conversations.
Why better? You can:
* instantly see all the context and where the conversation started diverging (not in web forums)
* delete entire sub-threads easily, such that you never even have to skip over posts(not in web forums)
* also see the single thread inside the message (the web-forum mechanism)Of course, if someone insists on using "sub-optimal" tools, then there's an expression for that: you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.
Example: partial screen shot showing threading

Leave it as it is. Please.
