on the occasion of Thomas' posting today concerning threads that go more or less into infinity and go through tens of topics, far away from the original question or statement, I wonder if there is no way to "close" a thread. A thread that has 112 posts and has arrived at level 20 is still readable in the rarest cases AND legible

With a slight bit of certain things, I've looked at my last 50 posts today and could breathe - but it certainly happens every time that he leaves the thread more or less unintentionally. But for most of them, this is not so optimal.
==References====External links== a hint for the admin: The search function does not indicate anything if a umlaut is in the searched username.
An appeal at this point may also be: Some thread titles are really not very sophisticated and often happen that the title does not directly show what it is all about. Predestined are the "help calls" that come through every few days...
