# Display posts in threaded format

 * I am hoping to start a website where one author writes a post, and then a series
   of other authors respond throughout the week (like a long conversation in post
   form). Instead of having the posts display like a regular blog, one on top of
   the other, I want to group the related posts together. So, for instance, Post#
   1 would show in full, with Post #1 Response #1, Post #1 Response #2, etc. showing
   as excerpts next to it.
 * Is this possible in WordPress (or elsewhere if you know)? Is there a way to group
   and display posts as a thread, similar to a forum? Or some way to set a main 
   post as a target, or something?
 * I was thinking using a Related Posts plugin, and using a common tag for all the
   post/responses, but that seems really inelegant and open to disaster if the system
   thinks some unrelated post is actually related. Plus it means that I couldn’t
   use related posts for its intended purpose if I wanted.
