two threads need merging... but:
awesome, as in inspiring of awe.
We believe that one thread to which you refer is a news-story comments thread (found in the "site comments" forum), while the other is the thread here.
Due to the nature of the system, the comments on any news story, blog entry, feature article, story hour, or other created content will generate a thread in the site comments forum.
There is no need for a thread merge.
