I just deleted an important thread by mistake due to the threading.
I am reminded of the CorelDraw clipart manual.
One year there must have been an ideologue of some sort in charge of the CorelDraw clipart manual. The previous year's manuals had pictures to represent the topics of different sections of the clipart, along with words for the topics in English, French, German and a few other languages. On the year of the pigheaded designer, the text was removed, leaving only pictures to find the topics with, to make it more politically correct by not picking 5 or 6 out of all the languages in the world to include and thereby excluding all the rest. This of course made it much harder to find topics.
The next version's manual reverted to the old, far superior topic headings with both pictures and words in multiple languages. The pigheaded decision was overturned in favor of giving users what they want and need.
I suspect that in order for Google to overturn it's pigheaded "threaded only" decision will require the person responsible for the error to quit, get fired, die, or otherwise leave their job and get replaced by someone who wants to give users what they report they want and need.
