Comment on Cooperative conversational threading

That feels a lot more demanding, to me. If someone raises their hand, I'd expect them to get the floor within a few minutes, and if they then started to speak about something totally unrelated, I'd be surprised and perhaps a little annoyed - that could have completely cut off an interesting and productive thread. For my purpose, I'd be happy to wait an hour for a point where we wouldn't be leaving the old topic in the lurch.
