Try reading his post again then.
Because by complaining about the fact that his thread falls to the 2nd page, he is in fact saying that other threads deserve to be there instead, unless you want bump haven like Marco said. Which, btw, if were to happen would cause me to leave. As it would many others.
Yes the system has flaws. But as the saying goes, "the needs of the many must outweigh the needs of the few". I do believe that many more find bumping annoying than find the automerge annoying. The only reason it seems different is because the most ignorant of the anti-automergers post threads like this, thus making it seem like a huge amount of the population wants this gone.

And don't think that I never get the drawbacks imposed on me. I had an idea to create a "Version Map" thread in my RPG subforum here to have info on the different versions, but I lost interest due to the fact that my doubleposts got merged.
Still I can sit here and call people who complain about the doubleposting ignorant and self-centered due to the fact that I know how bad the alternative is.
