This is a valuable news tool but duplications may become more common than before it was implemented.The Wrinkler has no way of "knowing" that a member has already posted a story and it has no concern with the need to merge threads!

I've thought of that, but two things...
1) I, personally, have been vigilant in looking for a "Wrinkler" thread becoming a full fledged debate topic...I'd rather be moving threads and/or merging threads than not having the "Wrinkler" instigate debate at all...
2) The articles in the News Stories go by quickly, so a duplicate thread in the relevant forum gets the debate and the one the Wrinkler started will drift off to page 2 and into oblivion...so my concern is minimal...
