@ Bestpretzle - Those three threads are fine to remain.
The rule against duplicate threads is primarily concerned with a single user posting multiple threads on the same topic, either in the same forum or across different forums (aka spamming).
In the rare cases where there are so many threads on a single topic, that they take over a forum, then we may select one to be a sticky and request that the sticky be used instead of multiple threads. Three threads are not going to overwhelm that forum.
