    There is only the occasional need to extract some discussions from threads...usually due to the fact they are so good they warrant their own thread so others can participate. This isn't too common, but it does happen.

    Did Solai just stumble upon a Grand Unified Forum Theory?

    I'm trying to think of joke about double posting and viagra, but I'm having trouble coming up with it.

    GalaxyRanger's activity is also inversely proportional to the amount of Viagra he is on at any given moment. After all, he is quite the ladies man.

    Somehow I think that young man's viagra years are far,far away yet.

    (Yup, I've officially drifted this thread into the gutter...for old times sake).

    I'm not sure I understand the issue here. Obviously duplicate(ish) threads are a problem, like three separate threads on the same topic, as are "yeah, me too" kind of threads. Are you saying that each person should only post once in each in each thread?

    I took Solai to mean something like this, if I could use myself as an example. I was on a top ten thread or something like that. Nobody else seemed to be on at the time. Within 10, 15 minutes, as I thot of wildly humorous (well, that's debatable) things to post, I posted them. I ended up with about 12 separate posts, one after the other, which I easily could have edited into one post as I went along, therefore taking up less space, etc.

    Is that what you're getting at, S ?

    Ooops, sorry to have been an occasional double poster. I've seen some posts of mine merged on occasion. Usually that occurs in coming into a podcast discussion a couple of days (hours even) late and quickly responding to something on page 3 and then going back to reading and subsequently responding to something different from page 5. If the proper etiquette is to edit a previous post then I now stand corrected.

    Thanks for hard work you guys do to keep this place clean (if not out of the gutter)!!!!

    BTW, what is the reason behind the double posting etiquette? Is it to avoid unnatural increases in post counts? Just curious...
    Over the years I've come to regard you as people I've met.
