I am not fond of this approach either. I never find myself replying
directly to the poster.
I actually greatly prefer forums which email me a copy of every post
with a nice link to the original thread. 95% of the time I do not even
need to use the link. The latest posting is enough.
This makes things more organized as accessible.
