I do not believe they are superflous and depend on my own (weak but still operating) associative memory to glean something from thread:author:sequence triples when I try to decide what to (re)read thoroughly or to refer back to after someone makes a previously uninteresting/relevant (to me) thread interesting/relevant. I don't know when I became an "old dog" but I find myself avoiding/resisting "new tricks" like the ones the Morlocks provide (e.g. nabble) and Glen points us at from time to time (e.g SMMRY https://smmry.com/).
