Ugh. RAT is one of the most expensive pages to render, so please be careful to poll such very rarely and turn it off when you aren't watching the feed. And use /bare/ so you don't waste resources rendering nodelets. These are just a few of the reasons why we provide XML feeds.

The thread information boils down to "parent ID" and "root ID", which are exposed in at least one XML feed designed for it and probably in other XML feeds for completeness. And if there is a feed that could use the addition of this information, surely you could find one of the 81 members of pmdev who could look into adding that information to that feed.

Update: Oh, be sure to used the "I've checked all of these" form so RAT doesn't waste time re-rendering stuff you already scraped. And you might want to look up how to properly do linking here since you link to RAT "logged me out".
