Over-Merging of threads?

When threads are actual duplicates of other discussions, I'm all for deleting or merging.

Sure they're related, but when I signed on and saw the modified name of the thread, I got all kinds of confused. In that situation I would have liked to see a new thread created named Brunell Restructures After All, or something like that.

I realize though that the mods have a gargantuan task trying to keep this board clean, and they're doing a great job. Just thought I'd throw two cents into the ring in the form of hopefully helpful input.

I think that's a very valid point. I have nothing useful to add beyond that, however.
