Ah hem...
As a moderator I will respond to this. This is not an "official" message though.
We do not "as a rule" delete duplicate threads. As you say... it happens.. heck it happens a lot here. As a matter of fact, look around, and you will see dozens of threads about the same topics. So, that should illustrate that we are not all that "anal".
However, there are times where news will come out, or a new model, or something and several threads about the same thing are started within hourse and sometimes minutes of each other... usually in separate forums. When this happens, and we notice it, we try to close the newest ones with a link to the conversation. This is generally appreciated by most members since all the convo about that new "thang" is focused to one thread.
BTW: There is an exception to this rule in the "self-promo" section. We do not allow an author to come in every day or hour and start yet another thread about their ebook just to get more traffic. If you want to advertise here, contact Alex and he will be happy to give you the banner rates.
