Too bad there apparently isn't a way to merge it so that the posts make sense. For example, someone new to the thread is not going to understand why someone thought the previous post was really funny, because the hilarity has nothing to do with the previous post.

I'm just mentioning this from the point of view of having comprehensible messages, but I guess that isn't important.

But to give an example, the message starting "wow. That's total news here" seems to refer to the previous message, which has nothing to do with it.
