Most of us use threaded e-mail clients or nntp clients (Gmail's
conversations are rubbish for this kind of thing) and so yes, having all
500 responses wandering all over the place in an orderly tree structure
is infinitely preferred to many threads all talking about the same
thing.  Each message contains a referral id that refers the message that
is being replied to.  Thus the logical flow of the conversation is
preserved very well despite many posters and meandering conversation
branches.
