PLEASE stop inappropriate merging of feedback
I provided feedback earlier today on an issue with "Check for Updates", and it was inappropriately merged with another post which was also related to "Check for updates" but not the same issue. My feedback was merged without recourse to a closed feedback item, so that I couldn't even point out that the two matters were not the same!!! I understand that merging may be appropriate, but it isn't when the only relationship may be a couple of keywords.
This feedback isn't a rant, but an attempt to preserve the value of feedback. I've been an AOL user since its inception, and involved in computing for ~50 years, so this is not my first rodeo and I have the chops to comment on interface design.
