I really think this is a great idea if it is implmentable. ^
To give an example of how this would work (instead of discussing the
theory), check out
this thread on Slick Deals. There are 460+ posts in the evolving thread about getting an extra Gift Card for using CoinStar, BUT the 3rd post by "user"
wikipost, gives the summary details. That can get everyone up to speed w/ the basic info w/o wading through posts and posts and pages and pages of misleading info and banter. ^
That functionality would be wonderful in long threads (YYZ-LCA or AKL Biz for example) and a definite benefit for the entire community.
