That's pretty impractical (who's going to moderate to make sure it  
happens, do newbies have to post the "right" way to get help, etc.) -  
but all practical issues aside, it really does not end the thread.  
The ability to force the postings on one list to be one way or the  
other doesn't make that way the "right" way. The thread will end when  
both sides have covered the basic points, which I think is just about  
done.
