I hope this is the right place for this.

The mods in the AA forum are, IMHO, overzealous in merging threads together. I posted a question about 500 mile credits for shorter legs, it got merged into some mega-omnibus "status qualification" thread, and I simply cannot find it now.

I searched on my name and I *think* I found it, but then there's no easy way to figure out where in the 20+ pages of thread it is to see if there are new responses.

FT doesn't have a "show my posts" function, so catching up on what's been added is simply painful.

Huge meta threads may be nice for newbies, but for people that try to actively participate I think they're counter-productive.

I posted a humorous comment about this before xmas, but apparently meta threads aren't allowed in the boards.

My question - how do the mods know if people are happy with having everything that touches near status qualification tossed into a 20+ page thread? I would suggest posting one sticky meta thread in the AA forum to ask the question on poster's opinions about it to get a feel for whether the format is working for the people who participate.

Thanks.
