[ripe-forum-test] Dealing with long discussions

In case you missed it, there is currently an epic discussion thread on the address-policy working group list:

https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/address-policy-wg/2016-April/thread.html#10975

I'm wondering what the "correct" way to present such a conversation is.

Basically I looked at my overflowing inbox, realized that this wasn't super critical to my life, and marked the whole thing as read. If I had some way to pull out interesting or pertinent topics or messages I might have gave it some attention.

One possible idea is to be more like reddit or other sites focused on discussion. (Reddit might not be the best, since it is not meant for long-term discussions but mostly for short-lived items, but anyway...) I think this means voting and ability to collapse threads. I don't know what else. I'm sure the RIPE NCC guys have discussed this before embarking on this project... maybe they can share their thoughts? :)
