Very helpful.

Thanks.

Sorry for unnecessarily rattling any sensibilities.

I've been functioning under the uhhh understanding that it was better for FR for some reason to minimize the number of new threads on similar topics.

Has that old standard changed?

It's a judgment call - but generally speaking, it is worth the effort to summarize and/or format a reply with the assumption that most Lurkers/Freepers will be scanning the replies on a thread instead of reading every word.

Likewise, significant research often merits a thread of its own due to size or because Lurkers/Freepers are more likely to read the entire article than the replies - or to bring more attention to the subject.
