Personally, I don't mind it. Way back when, people made a stink about discussions happening in the BC retail sightings thread, so they broke the discussion off into it's own section. Guess what happened? The sightings thread turned into a ghost town for a long time. And the discussion thread wasn't all that active either.
Sightings promote discussion. Discussion is incentive for people to go to the sightings thread to make a post or comment. Separation kills the spontaneity to it all, so less people are actively posting.
And honestly, I also think the discussion makes it just a little more difficult for anyone who only comes here to leech off the community, like scalpers, without contributing. And I'm OK with that.
