Okay… I feel like a goober, but what exactly is a sequential thread? Do they have to come one after each other in a forum listing, or can they both just be on the top page of a forum at the same time? ---

Yes, I know what the word sequential means. What I’m asking is if they need to be in numerical sequence rather than thematic sequence. I take it that you’re saying that sequential threads refer to any two threads which are next to each other at any moment in time in any of the fora? ---

Yes. What makes them funny is that they appear right next to each other. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/life-is-a-bowl-of-sequential-threads/305253.md?page=2)
