It seems to me that would be a bit like creating a shared highway for planes, cars, boats, trains, and bicycles, just to save space and make it easier for someone to get somewhere without getting lost. I understand why you suggest this, but starting a new thread kind of keeps focus, and keeps most of the discussion on that topic in that thread, instead of mixing around in other threads. IMO if you pack more than 2-3 topics into one threadi it's going to get sticky at some point, and if someone starts a new line every time Obama does something, you're going to end up with threads looking like these charts:

(except for the 12 Angry Men one and a lot like the Primer one)

IMO a sub-forum would be better organized than a superthread. Just my 2 cents.
