To answer your points :
Yes, closed (moved) topics take up one line. And once closed they rapidly move down the list of topics and fall off the bottom. If off-topic posts don't get closed then they encourage others to post in the wrong forum.
Yes, PPRuNe is about communicating. And given the amount of traffic we have the correct forum has to be used.
Should "Thanks ATC" be in Aircrew Notices? The moderators have a very good feel for how a thread will develop, and in this case the thread now has info. on Medlink working well, ATC, decision making during a medical emergency, possible lack of medical care at LGW after 2100. Will the thread be moved at some point? It might be, more likely it will be left to die a natural death.
