Angry OMANI SWORDS---COMPLETE OVERKILL IMHO

We now have 5 seperate threads going, about what is essentially the same subject. For the benefit if Members and "Lurkers" surely this is doing nothing but creating confusion, and fragmenting of what up 'til recently has been useful information.
If it is the intention to confuse, then go ahead, but to me this is destroying the purpose of the Forum, which is to discuss. It is very hard to do this when the subject of discussion is so fragmented.
What think you Gentlemen?

Whenever there are several distinct sword types from a single region, I can see no fault to have a dedicated thread for each; seems to make more sense than lumping a lot of distinct pieces into a single thread IMHO. A concise overview thread to the swords of a given culture may aid newcomers to get a better understanding of the differences but dedicated threads are probably best to compare many examples of a given sword type. Just my 2 cents...

Regards,
Kai

I'm a little confused by your request Stu. These thread seem to be discussing completely different swords. Further they seem to be different types of swords from the same area (battle, dance, curved, straight, etc.) Are you suggesting that we have but one thread going per sword type or origin at a time?
