(Sorry for the bump…)  
Just saw this in the Suggested topics while reading about the new timeline feature. This would be awesome if it could be implemented! Personally, I like @haiku’s idea, with the ability to select a start and end post for the move command, sort-of like holding the Shift key down in many lists.

Couple of use-cases for us:

1. Bug report that veers off topic, grab the posts needed, and move them.
2. (This is where the end selection is needed, not just “select below”) - long discussion taking place, moving in different directions, but staying on-topic. After a while, we realize that a section of the discussion has become relevant to something else, and need to merge.
