People say this a lot, but it isn't clear to me how this would work. Would you like to discuss it? Email to [email protected] is probably best so we don't disrupt the thread.

Edit: Oops, version conflict. I was talking about a bit you edited out (about multiple links).

I know much better than to play Reddit with you.

This might be a situation where a story merge feature would come in handy.

In a "merged thread" the title could have more than one link value (but still have a canonical (by mod standard) top ranked url.) And the discussion could be merged to one thread (or version controlled in correspondence with a particular top level link.)

I also think it would have some other benefits:
