this is a forum, not tv. people contribute. if you keep ignoring their contributions, they're not gonna read your threads. I know I won't, if my reply was on the thread before this one.
So if the "story needs continuing coverage", you find the thread and put you 2 cents in there.
At least, that's how it's supposed to work. If everyone wants his own thread, let him start a blog.
Sometimes extra threads can benefit those who don’t freep constantly, though. I hadn’t seen this, and I’m sure I’m not alone. This whole site moves such a massive amount of data so fast, it is difficult to keep up, absent 24/7 freeping.
I agree we should minimize them, but on some important issues, extra threads can increase exposure and dissemination. If it get’s out of hand, the mods can always step in.
JMHO. Of course, given how many outrages worthy of multiple threads are produced per day in these times, you also have a viable argument.
Wouldn’t it be a whole lot easier for you just to ignore the thread if you’re not interested in seeing it again? I hadn’t seen it before so was glad it was posted again. If someone posts it again I’ll thank them again since this type of information needs to reach as many as possible and not all read everything every day. If you are the designated thread police I suppose you can stop repeat postings. If not,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,well,,,,,,,,,,,,,
