Forum topics

I had to work away from where I could check
J forums regularly, and it took me quite a while
to catch up with it, especially because of the
one prolific topic "Lack of software abstractions".

It has a lot of good comments as user feedback,
which is good, but there are a few issues about the
way the topic was handled:

The original subject was changed a few times. If this 
happens, it is necessary to change the name of the subject. 
I could clearly identify these distinct areas:
 - Abstractions in J notation
 - Improving J IDE
 - Persisting session names (workspaces)
 - Distributing J applications
possibly some more. Otherwise, these points are
hard to follow and are lost with time.

Taking into account the multitude of messages
sorting them out was difficult with casual 1-line messages 
expressing personal emotions and small-talk, which in 
fact did not contribute anything new to the topic and 
may cause something important to slip through.
