Done.
New Thread Title:
Far From The Madding Crowd: Modern-Day Hermits
Can our search function handle something like that?
Wouldn’t the simpler ‘Modern-Day Hermits’ be better?
I don't think it would be better--I think it would be more boring. If there's a SEARCH issue, I will look into it, but we have literally hundreds of threads with this format: Slightly Oblique Reference: Clarifying Complement.

These 2 threads both focus on the subject of dark energy, and they can safely be merged ...

Dark Energy: search for force ends in common sense solution?

We have two vintage threads focused on eating live monkeys' brains:

MONKEY BRAINS

I recommend they be merged and the merged thread be moved into Fortean Food & Drink.
A general note / proposal ...
There are a number of threads dedicated to superstitions, these threads are strewn among multiple sub-forums, and there's considerable overlap among some of them.
I propose to inventory the superstition threads in preparation for migrating them into a single sub-forum.
I nominate Urban Legends & Folklore as the home for superstition threads, because superstitions are part of socially-disseminated 'lore' analogous to UL's and folk tales / remedies. I've primarily encountered academic discussions of superstitions within the context of folklore classes.
I further propose that the UL's & Folklore section be re-titled to indicate its newly expanded topical context - e.g.:
Lore: Folklore, Urban Legends, Superstitions, etc.
We could have a subforum or whatever just for threads on superstitions.
Blimey, Michael Jayston's busy today, not bad for a man of 82!!Done, but sent to URBAN LEGENDS (it's a classic case).
Backlog cleared.

Why do we have two major Bigfoot threads?
I'm happy to create one, but at the moment we haven't gathered enough to populate one.
I'll take a look before long.
Are you kidding? We have LOADS of threads on superstition.
