I would rather read each thread separately than to try and find my way through a mishmash of replies to different posts in a merged thread.

I've been around FT for quite a while but I still struggle to find posts that I know are out there so I'm not too hard on posters who don't find threads on a particular topic. It might be same old same old for us but it's a new topic for some people.

I just adopt my usual approach to FT - I can ignore anything that I consider OT, boring or repetitive.
