Being a somewhat erratic reader here, I find the Daily/Weekly/Monthly Best Nodes helpful to find high quality content in my limited time. (AFAIK, Daily Best does not have it's own page, but is derived from Best Nodes, and there's more info at About the Daily Best Nodelet.)

But I often feel I'm missing out on the OPs that have lots of good discussion, while not making it into Best Nodes.

My question: Is there a "Best Thread" mechanism? If not, is there enough interest to consider making one?

Of course, this begs the question of what a "Best Thread" is, because we don't vote on threads. Given the current scheme, we'd have to compute some thread score, such as Sum_of_Node_Votes / Number_of_Nodes. Perhaps throw in a multiplier for unique responders, or unique readers.

I did a quick search here, but of course "thread" comes up with the other kind, and I didn't find anything relevant. Please point me to any previous discussions.
