(a) we can combine posts - often done to tidy up appearance
(b) I'm not aware of any way we can cause a post to appear at some particular position other than where the system dictates by DTG of post. I note that the system occasionally does some strange things in this regard and it has been noted at management level for attention.
No-one is subject to back-dooring in this Forum. If an individual poster sticks more or less within the site and forum requirements, he/she is free to post. If he/she gets too far outside the expectation, posts will be subject to edits or, for serious situations, the poster will be removed from the sandpit.
I get the feeling that some posters might have views on Lyman's posts but that is their problem - caveat: I haven't looked at the thread for a day or two so I am talking a little in the past.
