Another great idea! I like it, but the most useful answer to what? There were 100s of topics being discussed in that laptop thread. The one stop thread is still a nice "clearing house" for all things Lubuntu. Plus some topics might not actually be issues. Those might be better served with a traditional thread.
It might be most useful to ask users with issues to start their subtopics in Ask Ubuntu and still use A.J.s thread to list them. No???
