So "more considerate" is the phrase I would have used rather than "easier". And frankly I think it just looks a bit attention-seeking have so many new threads for one little flight.

This has happened a few times and I've commented on this before; gaz68 isn't the worst offender because not all the threads are about the same issue. But really, two of them are about 747 vs. 777 issues and could be merged, and two others are about F check-in and baggage tags and could also be merged or better yet deleted on the grounds of breaching Flyertalk guidelines on excrutiating dullness.
