The Scale of the Universe

RE: The Scale of the Universe
There is a reason it is age old...it's valid. I never suggested you should click through 4 years of posts; I suggested that there was no reason to repost something just because new people might have not seen it. Instead, use the search feature, and if someone has posted it before, add a new post on their thread and it'll go right to the top of "New Posts".

We don't delete old threads, as some forums might. Having three copies of the same bloody thing is not going to help database efficiency.

Just merge the threads, problem solved. Think

The point is, I shouldn't have to merge the threads. The multiple threads shouldn't exist in the first place.

I apologize, next time I see something cool like this, I will do a search first to make sure I'm not posting something that's already been posted. My bad.

Wish that trans-Atlantic engagement prank wasn't bogus. You deserve each other.

No more flame-baiting is going to be tolerated. Can it now.
