Problem is, threads are rarely declared `closed'. Potientially, there's always a new post waiting aroung the corner, messing up the summary. Besides: to whom should it be to post the summary? I think everyone who uses forums and mailinglists frequently knows about how good it is to share one's solution once he/she got it done the right way. But in contrast, there are many who subcribe to mailinglists only if there's an urgent issue (I used to be one of them...). I don't think you can make them sum up the thread they initiated. And it's way too much work for moderators (if any!) to do the job. Nevertheless, it would be great - that's right. Do you have any special mechanism in mind?
