Depending on the demographics of your group, It may not all be laziness, Bruce. I have a number of members who don't even understand that they can actually change a subject of a thread and may not really know how to start a new subject. We're a historic group, and the old-timers have all the good stories and so?are very valuable to us?that way. We keep several of them on moderation so we can intercept and fix those posts and other problems.

Let us know what you come up with. As with any subset of the human population, there is that bottom 10% that will ignore all your pleas and just do what is easiest for them. Many of them will probably never have read your earlier post. Just look back at [GMF] and see how often the same questions recur. This is the main reason the option to merge threads was developed.

Good luck!
