In a bid to be helpful to Peter, who does a huge amount to keep this forum going, which I hugely appreciate, as do many others, I am starting this thread.
It seems to have a misfire.
The issue is that no thread started by us is going to be as interesting as these started by usual suspects ;-)
Yes, Timothy ? What is your question ?

We would have tons of threads if “someone” didn’t merge them all 
If this continue we will have one merged thread, and one “off topic” thread (which also technically is a merged thread).

Generating interesting content is for the benefit of all, not me 
For me, it merely generates more stuff to read.

Perhaps the word you were looking for was “provocative”

That would be true if we wanted a site where someone kicks off a discussion which then dies and (for various reasons) nobody ever reads it again. That is what happens on most of the fashionable social media sites e.g facebook. But most of the visits to EuroGA, and I suspect most new posters we attract, come to us via SEO i.e. google searches, and a combined thread on a topic is the best way for that. EuroGA was started to build an informative resource for GA pilots.
If the objective was e.g. to build a site which simply attracts traffic for advert clicks (which is the case for most forums) then (in Europe, given the size of the community here) it would be structured differently.

actually….no, I wrote what I meant ;-)
I admit, I was tugging on Peter’s chain a bit. He asked for new threads and I gave him one. Provocative is overstating it. Mild joshing would be a better way of putting it.
Lighten up, smile, go with it
Nobody could get needled by this thread.

Isnt that just a nautical thread?
