Thanks, Panopticon, for mentioning the other thread. If you hadn't, we might not have known about it. If this is OCD, then I'm all for OCD. So I didn't read your post above as trying to tsk-tsk samintx, even if that was your intention. And if it WAS your intention, what you actually did was help by including the link.
It's like the other day when I mentioned in BGnR's thread about Grim's ATX power-supply thingie that there was a another thread about it. I wasn't doing it to embarrass BGnR, and I hope he didn't take it that way; I just thought it would he helpful if folks also had the benefit of the other thread without having to recreate the wheel.
A forum is an ever-flowing thing; I certainly don't think it has to have one-time-only topics.
What some of you see as the "forum police" being anal and wanting to admonish others could very well instead be an effort to affect a sort of keywording and threading, for the benefit of all. It helps bolster the forum as an Intranet of sorts.
