It's not becsue there is no relationship with this post and the original. If it were threaded your post would have appeared below mine as reply instead of sequential order. If you're going to have threaded topic you need to be able easily follow the different branches.

Here's an example of a threaded forum topic:

MySQL :: MyISAM vs InnoDB?

//www.city-data.com/forum/inter...?mode=threaded

Look at that. It's this very own thread.
