Can exisitng threads be merged?

The only way to do it is to post a link in each thread that directs people to the main thread in which you want them to move the discussion.

For example, if you wanted to merge the two conversations about merging and deleting threads, you'd put a link to the deleting threads discussion in this thread and ask people to respond there.

it's a funny thing JGoldman10 but i was thinking that very same thing only yesterday, wouldn't it be lovely to combine all your questions and posts on one page

Not if all the topics aren't related.

to be fair I believe you would be best served by PMing "Butrflynet"
for advice concerning the secret inner-workings of A2K, Setanta tends towards having a blustery presentation while I'm known for being cranky and elitist. For specifically religious dialogue I highly recommend "cicerone imposter" and finally for bowling tips it's hard to beat Boomerang.

Did you check your PM? Setanta doesn't want me PMing him.

for a backup, try Farmerman.

JGoldman10 if you were to go to GROUPS instead of forums all would be solved.

He already does, about 5 times a day.

I don't want Setanta talking to me. He thought I was being racist when I wasn't.

Forums are a good way to gather info.
