I don't really care what you do before coming to this forum. My point is that a forum, traditionally, is about discussion, not about breaking news. I don't find it to be my responsibility to make sure every user of this form is greeted with new threads announcing the day's news.

If you feel differently, great. I nominate you as the official thread starter for all breaking news. Have at it.

In the mean time, I'm going to continue letting the users of this forum interact with it the way they want (for the most part). If they want to continue old conversations when new information is found, fine. If they want new threads to discuss things, fine. I'm going to step in and move things around from time to time if the boards gets unwieldy, but by and large the users of the forum dictate how the board works. If you don't like it, I apologize, and I recommend that you put in the work here to try to change it.
