With respect to Murray, I generally prefer seperated messages that are threaded (and subjects changing when the message subject does). The exception is the odd attempt to draw together several disparate threads. But it is more of an art than a science, and I suppose it depends moore on those who are actively participating than on those who mostly just read.
