seems the point was missed. while decisions are up to moderators, there might be 'best practices' re 'replying' to trip report threads. not the easiest [issue], especially when some threads are not an individual 'trip report' thread. as in, this thread is an individual trip report, rather than report in another/existing thread.

one can always ask questions to clarify.
