Yes; Rense refers to it in the blog entry you cited.

That's why we stress posting new posts as new posts (so not to mess up
threading); informative titles; editing messages to focus on what's
new; and wrapping up a thread by posting a summary of what works. The
list does well on the first two and rather poorly on the second two.

Web forums do better in this respect, but the way Statalist behaves
could not, in my view, be mapped into a web forum without serious
loss.
