Ah, seems like Discourse closes topics after fourteen days with no traffic.
Might this be a problem when revisiting the same topic but later?
One can create a new topic of course, and refer to the old one, but this
seems to be one hoop to many to jump through.

FWIW, I prefer a regular mailing list like this. I can save topics I have a
personal interest in and go also go back with a reply or request more info
later on.
