[General Questions](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=471547), [IMHO](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=471568) and [MPSIMS](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=471576) are closely related threads, spawned from the original thread [GQ](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=471568). The spawn have been relocated, once each.

Could a kindly mod please put them all in the same forum, please? Any one of the three would thrill me to no end. After all consistency is a virtue, and I’m easy to please. 😉

Clarification about if this is the proper method for request would be appreciated. I’m pretty sure it is not, but using the Report button or email seemed to have the potential of being even more confusing than the original issue about which I’m whining.

I think we should have a “Cheap Vs. Expensive” forum.  
All to itself.

OK. I think I’ve moved them all to MPSIMS, which is my choice.

Hey, I"ver been busy! What can I say.

We’re not robots here. 😉

Two forums would be better: one for ‘Cheap’, the other for ‘Expensive’.

I would have to object to such a move, unless a “Moderate” forum also was created.

And the overseers would be the Moderate Moderators.
