Rick, if you'd had "Thread Proliferation Control" in your life, you wouldn't be the Rick we love so much. Your wife Heather wouldn't like you, either.

I hope to be gentle in this system of control, but it will be a trial-and-error process. If a thread starts out with a well-reasoned expression of opinion that invited comment, I'm likely to leave it alone. If it starts with a link, a one-liner, or a cut/paste article, it's likely to be consolidated. If it's an answer to an existing thread, it's likely to be consolidated.
