You are not understanding the problem. These "side issues of the main 
thread" are nothing of the sort. They are completely unrelated topics 
and appear as sub threads only because of poor (lazy?) posting habits.

A possible problem, related to what Mark describes, occurs when marking 
a thread to be ignored.
