Charles,

I just got an idea for a new feature that I think would be useful in reducing spinoff link clutter on LGF.

You know how sometimes you get a half-dozen or more people submitting links to a given story? Sometimes the links are to the same article; sometimes they are to a similar article.

Here’s the idea: add a checkbox next to each spinoff link: this can be called “merge”, “coalesce”, “aggregate”, “similar” or “same” or whatever you like.

The idea is that when a registered lizardoid ticks that checkbox next to multiple links, he/she is indicating that those linked articles are one and the same “story”, and you can use that info to automatically “merge” the links.
