relating to getting away from being able to change the topic mid-discussion
I've always been against changing the topic mid-discussion; in my opinion if the topic needs changed in a thread, it should probably need to be it's own thread too (in most cases). I believe that's why Rick, at one point, added the ability to rename the entire topic.
