But not all of the topic titles are the same for a given TopicID. Discourse has only one title per topic/thread. I guess just use the first TopicTitle?

Actually. something’s wrong. TopicID 4 has one TopicTitle “HUD” in 2000 and the others are all “$3.00 a gallon…” in 2004. Hmm. I don’t see any others. Perhaps that’s a fluke.

Well, no. TopicID 12 has multiple titles as well.
