It's not an obsession, just a fun pasttime. Like knitting frog sweaters and bowling for soup.
But if you use Search effectively, the size of a thread is no issue. Have results returned by POST, not thread.

I would like to thank the moderators for cutting down on all of the ridiculous posts in this forum. Whether you do it through deletion or merging, thank you.
Sincerely,
Phono

A trick I use is search from Google. Usually I don't need to be site specific either. Just type what your looking for in Google and put N900 at the end of it. Usually the Maemo Talk forum pops a with a link to the post you need.
Use 'site:talk.maemo.org' in google with your searches and it will only return hits from maemo talk forum

(Have to say that I don't really understand why this has been relegated to a link hidden in the side-bar that nobody ever looks and why the big prominent search box displayed on all pages uses a different and completely useless search engine)

Why is everyone on here so obsessed with merging threads?

I never new it was there. The other search engine would need to be improved to be called useless.

If i use the search to try and find help.. Huge threads (like for example the Pr1.2 thread) always come up, and even if i find a thread that might have the answer im looking for its 50pages long and cant find in there what I need, at least not easily.
Or am I doing something totally wrong?
