It has a been suggested a couple of times that we confine all discussion of Madeleine McCann to one thread. This is possible - we'd carry a notice to that effect and delete all other threads, writing to the OP telling them to post in the one thread.
People could still discuss developments but there wouldn't be multiple threads in active conversations (and indeed we are planning adding facility to exclude a thread - so folks could avoid altogether).
Seems to us - given the rancour of the last few days that this might be the best solution.
Thoughts please?
