ok cool what do you mean by linking later threads with earlier ones
IF you started by talking about cheese, then moved to talking about the moon, then animals, then somehow you link back into cheese again.
Topic A-B-C-D-B-D-C-D sounds very casual, interesting and is how you hear people who have known each other a long time talk.
Topic A-B-C-D-E-F-G sounds boring, rehearsed, and forced
To keep it really simple in the beginning when I was using almost all canned stuff I just went A-B-C-B-C-D It made it easy to stay focused. I dropped that pattern once it became a natural thing for me to just bounce around threads.
