My news reader regurgitated a few years of old posts for some reason.
I quickly went through them and saw some of the rather lengthy
discussions over the past few years.

The trouble, I find, with long threads that I have not the patience to
read them all, so probably miss the important/interesting bits!

In reality, the biggest winner is about Healthcare. I only listed the
top five that I found but in addition:
452 OT The Healthcare Bill is in peril 2010

A few other big ones:
542 Hard Times 2011
385 Food Network 2011
529 Warning! Crockpot "warm" setting 2011
531 O/T Clothes Lines 2010
685 Rising Food Costs 2008

I was skimming pretty fast so I may have missed some others. Most
threads were well under 50, 100+ was not uncommon though.

I'd guess they all drifted in and out of food related subjects at one
point or another or several. Jes like long food threads often do.

I've seen an even longer thread recently in newsgroup sci.med.cardiology
recently. 1001 posts, mostly from just one person.

My newsreader also tends to regurgitate months or years of old posts, mostly
in newsgroups where it has already lost the count of posts downloaded from
that newsgroup.
