This old thread:

You Learn Something New Every Day
http://forum.forteantimes.com/index.php?threads/you-learn-something-new-every-day.8273/

... recommends itself for merging with this much more recent thread:

Something New Every Day

This thread:

http://forum.forteantimes.com/index.php?threads/irish-weirdness.366/

... might be considered for merging into the Ireland thread under Fortean Nations (if it wasn't already ...).

I've updated this thread:

Lost Hill Figure?
http://forum.forteantimes.com/index.php?threads/lost-hill-figure.2037/

... with MIA material salvaged from the Wayback Machine.

Please move this thread into whichever of the Earth Mysteries sub-fora you think most appropriate.

I've been scanning General Forteana for threads that might recommend themselves for relocation to the new Fortean Crime section.

I've now completed my scan for the back half of General Forteana (pages 26 - 52).

Here are the nominees I've identified up through a last posting date of March 9, 2007. They're listed by ascending date (i.e., earliest-to-latest, based on last thread posting / update).

Did you trawl the Human Condition section (for threads to move to Fortean Crime) last weekend?

Since I was busy scanning through General Forteana, I didn't have situation awareness on whether you'd done Human Condition.

If you've not yet done it, I could take a crack at it over the coming days if you're otherwise bogged down.

No, too busy with work and was out and about.
