Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, problem solved.

If you're suggesting that duplicated discussions can be solved with paste, then you are also suggesting that we not make separate areas.

Think about it.

I suppose you might be suggesting that we copy the OP and not the comments. Often the comments have more content than the OP, and often that content is useful, informative and relevant. So, in the comments we'd then have duplicated information that varied between the two OP copies.

So, we could copy the comments over to the other area... but then they're not separate...

Not seeing how this is a solution. If you have some different clever way to apply Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V then please let me know.

No, because only the top content in each area would be shared to the others.

This creates a trivial inconvenience.

So add a "promote" button that basicaly does the same automatically.
