One could make inferences from context about why a new thread was started when there is a current prior thread about the same topic.
Possible inferences about this include:
- The author didn't realize the posting window would create a new thread.
- The author believed the content of the new thread was different enough from any other thread, and this necessitated starting a new one.
- The author wished to continue posting on this subject but could not do so without posting four consecutive posts in a prior thread.These are, of course, possible inferences based on appearances and context and may not reflect actual intent.
