    I meant no disrepect... I know you're just trying to keep the site clean.... (I used the hijack smiley becasue I think it is great - in a funny way)... I just don't like the idea of posts moving... My post actually did not mention Arizona at all - It was Kubel's quote about his time in MN, so if anything is should have been moved to the Minnesota board. But, I wouldn't have agreed with that, either. We post on the general board to get discussions from all baseball fans. This Arizona board should be for Diamondback fans. As a Sox fan, I am not going to peruse every other team's message board. If I think other fans would like to discuss a topic - even if it specifically relates to only one team, I will post it on the Inside The Park board. I post specific Red Sox topics on the Boston board, but I also post Red Sox issues on the Inside The Park board...

    And, as I mentioned earlier, the Inside The Park Board seems slow. Maybe we should let posts lie, even if they are duplicates... I saw one funny exchange just yesterday when one person said 'Hey, I just posted this' and the other guy said, 'Well, mine is better', then someone else joked, 'Well mine is bigger!' ...That was classic and I didn't mind that there were two posts about the same thing....

    I didn't take it as you disrespecting me, I just simply felt that two posts pertaining to the exact same thing belong in the same thread, no reason to have 2 posts talking about the same thing. Especially when one of those threads is receiving a lot more attention than the other.

    You may not like going into each team specific thread & you don't have to that's your right, but when two topics about the same thing are on the more recent threads spot, there just isnt a need for that. It clutters that section up. Also the forum isnt only about the Inside the Park, my thing is say a Arizona fan decided to join up here but sees that there is very little activity in that section. it could possibly lead to them leaving and looking elsewhere where more discussion goes on about there teams. I have left boards for that reason so I know it is a very realistic possibility. I just think that the more users we get will lead to more discussion everywhere. And ultimately that is what we want. I meant no disrespect to you by merging your thread I just didnt see it discussing a different topic, I mean the only other post in the thread you started the guy started talking about how much the D-Backs signed Kubel for, so ultimately he didn't know what you were trying to discuss in that thread either. I just ask that if you want to talk about specific things please try to make that more clear than with a thread title, actually talk about it in your thread, because honestly if that would have happened the thread wouldnt have been moved. I was just trying to do my job and help keep the site less cluttered with similar threads, so I apologize if you thought I was picking on you :)
