You are right about the thread which Phillipa brought up. But overall, she is right that redirection does kill threads. I think that a certain amount of redirection is really needed to maximize the usefulness of the boards. But there have been times when it appears excessive to many of us - for example, redirecting posts from Medication to Neurotransmitters. At the moment, the amount of redirection seems appropriate to me, although, several months ago it did appear excessive, and did appear to result in the sudden ending of a lot of threads.
I have noticed that a high level of stressful communication here on Administration seems to correlate with an increased volume of redirection on the other boards.
