Because I don't see why someone wanting to start a new thread couldn't just put a note here saying, "This interesting conversation seems more appropriately continued in a new thread, so I've continued it here" and giving directions to the new thread.

For example, when someone in this thread suggested that I take a topic elsewhere, because the discussion was too heated, that is exactly what I did.
I wouldn't read too much into that. Moderators have to power to put threads in the right place and I agree, seperate issues should be raised in separate threads.
