    Please stop creating new threads on existing topics. It just creates work for the mods to merge them.

    It spreads the same discussion out over too many threads and makes it difficult to follow the main trend of the comments.

    Thank you.

    Funny how this never came up during the numerous global warming discussions.

    You can bring it up any time that you like, people often ask us to merge threads. Nobody is being censored here, no need to whine. It's just housekeeping.

    We never had 12 global warming threads going at one time, I might add. Mods routinely merge similar threads to keep the forums orderly. Most of these are coming from one guy who creates a new thread to post a link to an article that could have been posted in the main thread. He could at least post them all in his own thread. Now he's begun posting the same comments in multiple threads which makes following discussion on them difficult.

    Just politely asking for a little help.

    Mix in a sense of humor Red. You know me well enough by now.

    Your mood is remarkably hard to read some days, mon ami.

    We need a sardonic humor/cynicism/sarcasm emoticon badly.

    Lack of emoticons is to keep you guessing.:hihi:

    Barry is responsible for my lack of humor on occasion.
