I agree with this 100%, as I requested the same type of change earlier. It would be easy to make the initial post of a new thread, the place to continually update with real information. I have seen a lot of bug report threads just like that, so everyone can log in and quickly get the latest info in a consolidated spot.
As far as being lazy, please reconsider that comment. My time is literally worth $5000/hr to my company, based on revenue I produce for them directly. When I or anyone else here says it takes too much time to filter through all the many repostings of the exact same info, over and over, quite possibly we aren't actually lazy, but simply wish to be more efficient.
