i know its no fun to read posts that you are not intrested in but it is much easier to modarate in this way. as I said before applay as a modarater to bear and help out then i may not need to merge many threads togather
Have you taken a look at the very old threads to see if this discussion has been made before?

So, is that a "no" Josefine? Because Genevieve's point is well made. I started the original thread, and your assumption that it was begun without first looking at all the others is (I can attest since it was I who started it) 100% wrong. I looked through all 10 or so pages of threads before starting it, and there was none about this.
We are truly sorry if the site is understaffed, but I think it is a little unreasonable to ask those of us who only have the time and the interest to post occasionally to take on the responsibility for moderating as a justification for the merging of this thread's posts to the QR thread's posts. This site is popular and gaining in popularity, and that is a good thing. The Middle Eastern Royalty Forum is probably gaining in popularity in part because people want to understand why that region of the world is such a mess and try to bridge cultural differences. But I think we could lose participation if we all have to wade through topics we aren't much interested in to find the needle-in-a-haystack post that gives us insight. Like Genevieve, I'm not much interested in QR, her shoes, the superficialities of all that (not that I'm judging others who are), and I think it's reasonable to keep this discussion separate.
Please don't feel like this is an attack. I just hate to kill off a good discussion because its essence is buried in pages and pages of QR and smiley posts that are of little interest to some of us.
Thank you for reconsidering.
