Sue Wells correctly observes that it is impossible to post on multiple matters
within the posting limit, without doing so in a single topic. This makes it
harder to follow the discussion on a single matter, as it is interspersed with
comments on other matters.
Posting on a single subject in a single "Topic" makes it easier for people
reading your posts to follow a conversation, as can be seen in the following
examples.
Central Plains Water Scheme

Should Christchurch residents pay for their water?

But there are inevitable exceptions to this.

I encourage contributors to this forum to comply with the spirit of the
guidelines, which encourage a few thoughtful posts on a few topics. This does
make it harder for posters to express views on a large number of subjects
simultaneously, but it makes it easier for readers to follow the conversation,
which after all is why most people seem to be here (only 60 of the 200 members
post each month).
