condense/organize large threads into articles?
Some of the more popular threads run to hundreds of posts.
Quick and Dirty 4430's
Building the 4345/4344
Discussion Thread JBL 4343 to 4344 upgrade
While these often have a LOT of great info in them the organization may be kind of haphazard. Would it be possible to have the originator of the thread, or a moderator, reorganize the material into a more concise article or thread that would be easier to review?
Those big ones take forever to read
I was reading the "Performance series" thread today and only made it through 17 pages before I had to stop and take a break.
I was trying to get info on the PT800's(Thanks to Mike Baker who wants me to go broke) and I thought if I were to go through them once and cut and paste the pertinent info it could be more like a quick ref guide for future use.

Originals SHOULD be kept!

Hi NoRealTalent,
I would NEVER advocate the removal of the full length thread. I have waded through a few and found it very enlightening to follow the process of sharp minds poking and prodding at intricate issues bringing differing experiences and perspectives to the table.
Some times I feel like I've discovered an early manuscript for one of Shakespeare's plays, with corrections, strike-throughs, and scribbled notes in the margins that reveal the growth and evolution of the work.
But other times I would just like to see the final product, the play itself.
How about a DIY forum category
One that lets folks experiment and find their way around.
We all can't be resident experts, I know I am not one:p
