4. The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003) |
thread
n.
[Usenet, GEnie, CompuServe] Common abbreviation of topic thread, a more or
less continuous chain of postings on a single topic. To follow a thread is
to read a series of Usenet postings sharing a common subject or (more
correctly) which are connected by Reference headers. The better newsreaders
can present news in thread order automatically. Not to be confused with the
techspeak sense of ?thread?, e.g. a lightweight process.
Interestingly, this is far from a neologism. The OED says: ?That which
connects the successive points in anything, esp. a narrative, train of
thought, or the like; the sequence of events or ideas continuing throughout
the whole course of anything;? Citations are given going back to 1642!
