Whether you are part of that subset is entirely up to you. So I frankly don’t understand your argument.

(note: Thunderbird isn’t the only client that allows threaded display, it’s just the one I’m using as an example)

I don’t know what “e-mail first” means. What I know is that e-mail as a communication tool isn’t going away, and people will still be required to master e-mail in 10 or 20 years.

> off-topic discussions about e-mail clients on the [Timeline to vote for a governance PEP](https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-committers/2018-November/thread.html#6348) python-committers megathread are a great example

I remain to be convinced that it’s gonna work on, e.g., a PEP discussion, where usually the problem is _not_ someone veering off-topic to talk about e-mail clients. 😉

I still stand by my example: as a moderator, can you try to cut [Python Governance Electoral System](https://discuss.python.org/t/python-governance-electoral-system/290) in several independent Discourse topics? If you think this is too tedious or too much work, then you’re making my point.
