Howdy,

I know Ghostbusters warned us against cross the streams (although they did just that to rid us of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, but I digress)...

It'd be incredibly helpful to be able to cross/merge/join conversation threads so that we don't have to drop in a "Take a look over here: ..." link every time someone starts a new topic without taking a gander at the existing ones.

On a related note, you might include the tiny-url you do in the [Twitter] dialog box in the regular view too as cross-linking topics with longer URLs results in some of them getting chopped off. What would be ideal, of course, would be a "Cross-link to ..." text-field where you can type in a search and have it cross-link automatically for you.

That said, having a permalink/tiny-url for each and every response would be useful given that sometimes the thing you want to reference is a response way down the list under a particular topic.

So, to sum up, I'd love some way to cross/merge topics and also a permalink of some sort for each topic and each post within that topic.
