-  <strong><a href="/s/cqq0kg/story_merging">Story merging</a></strong> combats
-  the problem of multiple stories at different URLs being submitted in a short
-  timeframe about the same news subject.  Rather than have multiple stories on
-  the front page with fragmented discussions, all similar stories can be merged
-  into one.  An <a href="/s/klkmey">example</a> of a story having been merged
-  into a previous one, combining all comments on one page.
+    <strong><a href="/s/cqq0kg/story_merging">Story merging</a></strong> collects comments on a topic that would otherwise fragment across multiple stories.
+    This keeps the front page from being overwhelmed by a single topic and the discussion together for those interested (or so disinterested they'd prefer to hide it).
+    Moderators merge stories on the same topic submitted within a week.
+    Here's a <a href="/s/klkmey">small</a> and <a href="/s/zknzmj">large</a> example.
