By way of explanation, TimSP had started a thread on paper AGMs then started a new one on being able to view the voting papers. That’s all been fixed now.
However, as a general note to all Flatchatters, we try to discourage users from multiple posts on what is essentially the same topic (when I say “discourage” I mean “ban”). The reasons for this are:
- Filling up the Forum with essentially the same issue in multiple threads is a bit rude. “Look at me, look at me” doesn’t work here.
- More importantly, you can’t have a logical discussion if several people are making different points in response to different posts about the same topic.
However, there are times when a different aspect of the same topic deserves a thread of its own. How do you tell? That’s my job.
TimSP had thought the question of viewing voting papers was different enough to merit a new thread, but I didn’t agree, and gave him a chance to repost in the original thread before deleting the new one.
It’s all very arbitrary, I know, but the general rule is to keep it all in the one place and trust that I have the nous to start a new thread if that’s what’s required (as I have done here).
