I agree some threads have been darn near impossible to follow here. Even Randy today seems to be finding it hard to make head nor tail of some of them.

Here is one below that also perplexed me for a different reason.

A few posts from a thread taken out a week or so after the initial post was made here, and deemed by the moderator to be a 'new thread' and posted here thus:

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=363095

I could be wrong but in my 4½ years on FT I have not seen this done before.

I guess it boosts the thread numbers if nothing else.

However are we in future likely to see a post #21 on a thread given an arbitrary title by a mod a week after we make it, and become the "starter" of a thread we did not start or wish to start?

If it is a brand new FT policy, fine, but it does not seem to prevail outside this forum, hence my query.
