Oy yoy yoy.
This thread started off by me (with a different reader, different
login name)
saying "I have a files-based forum that I WROTE that I want to convert
to a more database like system."

Well, MY FORUM is hierarchical. I want to preserve that.
In my forum every post is either a topic heading, a response
directly to a topic heading, or a response to a response.

The parent/child relationships are important.
I was not at any point referring to usenet.
The subject was: forums that happen to be hierarchical,
but you had to read too carefully to gather that, perhaps.
