   Then, if you have your screen set up to show the messages as Threaded,   
   then ALL the posts on TopicXYZ would be in the one thread so you should   
   easily be able to see what time of (your) Day (Date + Time), people are   
   making posts on TopicXYZ. ('View' - 'Sort by' - 'Subject' - 'Ascending'   
   - 'Threaded')   
      
   Meanwhile, all the posts on TopicABC would be grouped together in a   
   seperate Thread.
