Well, you can legitimately ask but I'm entirely unable to answer, for
the simple reason that Discourse doesn't allow me to visually recognize
discussion branches and therefore potential "side conversations" ;-)

(also the fact that such breaking off requires on manual moderator labor
makes it potentially less efficient, but YMMV)
