Yes. But the issue or topic has to interest enough members to begin with. That is clearly necessary. And there is something else, too: an issue when first raised may interest a good many members because they all think about it in different ways, but when, as should happen in the course of the thread, the issue is more clearly defined, many initially interested drop away. Maybe the vaguer and more general the question, the more popular the thread will be, initially.
