Sorry to start another new thread, but in the last 15 minutes 2 new threads have appeared on the same subject, Pending Credit.

Is there a means for moderators to merge threads, when several are created on the same subject?

[edit]
Just did a Forum search. In the last 30 days we have had 14 new threads with pending as one of the keywords in the thread title. 12 in NC, 1 in the Cafe and 1 in Wish List. I'm sure some of these duplicate others.

Yes the mods can move posts from one thread to another if they so choose.

However, duplicate topic generation is an issue that goes all the way back to the roots USENET, and I don't see any indication that it's going away anytime soon, regardless of what anyone thinks about it one way or the other. ;-)

I learned to get over the 'annoyance' factor from it a long time ago. Personally, I would rather have a newbie post 50 redundant threads when they run into a problem, rather than abandon 50 tasks in progress. :-)
