Create a THREAD, REPLY to THREAD, and use EMOTICONs
(1) Create a new thread ONLY if your need to start a new discussion. Usability will improve for everyone if we are only creating new threads when necessary.
(2) If you have a question or comment related to a specific thread use a REPLY.
(3) Use an Emoticon on a specific thread or on a reply to a thread whenever possible.
