How did all these other threads get mixed into this one?

It's called thread hijacking. Email users hit "reply" and change the subject line. The Forum looks to a tag on the email, not the subject, to determine if it is part of the thread.

In this case Werewilfs hit reply to Ken Henderson's latest reply on the social media thread. He hit reply and changed the subject line. Thus a thread highjack. The opposite is some email clients strip off the tag so when someone replies by email it looks like a new thread to the forum. This causes the thread fracturing on the forum.

There are advantages and disadvantages to each system. The big advantage to the net/forum combination is the doubling of the audience/contributor base and the elimination of a GMC'er to have to track two systems to get the information they need. Overall I feel the "combination" system advantages outweigh the disadvantages. If you prefer one over the other, learn to determine which posts come from the other system and see how much you would loose if the systems were "split".
