Couldn't we have a single unified Christie implosion thread?

I've already deleted about 30 "he raised an eyebrow" play-by-play threads, but they just keep coming.

I didn't delete the one about the US Attorney, though.

They say "delete is your friend," but my fingers are getting worn down.

But the allure of seeing one's post with one's own name next to it is too delicious for some to ignore, I guess.

People post many, many threads about a topic until somebody complains about how many threads there are, and then people post more threads complaining about the threads. The good thing is that the gender wars and woo threads have been overwhelmed for awhile.

with real time blogging of press conferences and many subsequent hypotheses etc. It's the nature of a message board and it's happened here from the very beginning. And since the beginning, there have been threads like this - making thread consolidation requests.
