Can you cite some examples? I would assume that one thread you speak of is the merge of the UAW thread with the auto bailout thread.
If there wasn't talk of a bailout, there would not have been a UAW thread posted. The topic is ultimately the same, and threaded conversations allow the discussion to flow around the topic within one thread as opposed to across the board in separate threads.
It's not like the UAW thread was merged with the Kosar thread.
Do you have any other examples you would like to cite or was that the one that mainly tripped your trigger?
Thanks.
