In my personal FT experience, I often encounter massive threads when trying to find information. I assume I am far more diligent than most when it comes to searching, yet I am often unable to find information without spending days and days reading through posts (which I sometimes do). If we can make this situation better and make it easier for people to find factual information buried in massive threads, we should. As for the Wiki, I assume by the smilie that you are joking since those tend to be rarely used except for a small number of areas.

Maybe they should be able to go back and undo a 'helpful' vote. On StackExchange one can go back and undo an upvote (or a downvote).
