Good, a "best of both worlds" approach. Anyone who doesn't want to have to 
delete a lot of posts they don't want to wade through could easily just 
filter on the subject.

Actually the "original poster posts a summary" aapproach could be used with 
many of the threads here, with "SUMMARY" in the subject, or "SOLVED", if 
appropriate.

It's always fun when you find a thread describing the precise problem you are 
having. You eagerly follow the discussion, only to have it disappear, 
presumably when the OP solves his problem. Very frustrating.
