So? In the mean time there have been more than 50 articles in this
thread. "First few" seems hardly still appropiate.

Having a few subthreads after more than 50 articles hardly seems

without changing the subject"

Those subthread had more in common with the original subject than
your remarks here and yet you didn't change the Subject header.
