Hi,

I agree with most of you all ...
Let's keep it human and up to judgment of the poster to quote completely or not ... (some might not know how to limit it).

My main statement was about creating threads ...
Some topics have 2 or 3 threads going on which make discussions very difficult to follow ....

Some new threads make a discussion start all over again ...

Thanks, cheers ... (have beer or something, thank god it's Friday)

Hi Operator,

we, as mods, are well aware of the fact posters do not always check first before opening a new thread on some issue.

We try to stay on top of it.
As it so happens, two threads on the same issue get attention and are posted in.
Which one to delete?



Jenny

Can you just combine them and post a notice with the title of the one that is not being continued? And make the discontinued one non-postable?

Ex: October 7 oh my
October 7 I'm really scared

Keep October 7 oh my title and merge in the other thread's posts, but make the other one non-postable, with a new title:
October 7 I'm scared -- Now combined with October 7 oh my
