If the forum PTB feels that a particular thread needs to be moved or merged, then they have every right to do the deed, since its their forum they have to organize and maintain.

They are completely correct in moving and merging posts to avoid having the forum cluttered up with duplicate threads and threads dealing with the same topic. If a user somehow finds that disagreeable, then perhaps this forum is not for him/her.

Reposting the same thread over and over is not going to make you any more recoginizable or get you your answers any sooner, and can be treated as turboposting or even spamming.

Just be patient. You'll eventually get answers to your questions if a reader has them.

I'll tell you one thing, many of your questions such as specimen volume have been answered many times throughout the forum. The Search button is your friend.
