    This is a thread, listing all the posts in a list.

    This is the first post in the thread. This first post started a new thread.

    No, it means they're not the same thing. :D

    You started a thread with its first post and you just posted a second post in this one thread.

    If you know HTML, a thread is the <ul></ul>, a post is the <li></li>.

    A shopping list is like a thread with each item you need being the individual posts.

    A thread is composed of posts. There are multiple posts in 1 thread.

    It's funny how it is sometimes difficult to explain simple things...:)

    A thread is like initiating a conversation. All threads are posts but not all posts are threads. :)
