Granted, my initial post may look like that. ???? The main argument was that too many - fragmented - Forums reduces "views" for each topic, thus limiting discussion (and making it less likely a casual viewer will discover threads of interest). It also makes posting to the officially 'correct' Forum a pain - particularly when the 'correct' forum may have minimal views. Example: one may be interested in a thread someone posts about "Western Food in Thailand", but not interested enough in the topic to bother to routinely view that Forum.
