Hey Stanigator,  
I’ve dealt with this before too. What worked for me was replying in the merged post and mentioning each person’s issue there. That way, everything stays in one place and it’s easier for others to follow.

Then I just go back to the original posts and leave a quick comment with a link to the merged thread, so people know where to look.

Hope that helps!
