Open Question to the Mods: Asking for clarification (...in the interest of all concerned)

Well, sometimes, it is because they are new threads that should have been posts added to a thread already started. ie: How to beat Atlanta, just say that is a thread title, the next person with an opinion on the same subj. will start a new thread titled; Keys to beating Atlanta, then someone else will start an entirely new thread; The Saints can win in ATL. etc. Now, we have three new threads, all based on the same exact subject. Each thread starter wanting to be, for some reason, the one that started it, and not just add his/her post to the original. Now, this could be due to the ensuing thread starter not reading the board, but we encourage posters to read the board, the first page at least, to avoid some of the repetitive threads.
This is just one of the many reasons I look for to move, edit, or merge posts. Hope this helps a little.

P.S. Remember, we are humans, and as such, we all have slightly different opinions ourselves, so being perfectly consistant is a little much to expect. ;) :)
