I'm trying to figure out the best way to compile all "post threads" (a Question and all related Answers and Comments) where a specific user owns any of the Q, A or C.

it seems like there's probably a more efficient way than the combinations of methods I've been trying, for example:

 (1) get `question_id`'s from `users/xxx/questions`
 (2) get `question_id`'s from `users/xxx/answers`
 (3) get `combined list` of `post_id` + `post_type` from   
  - `users/xxx/comments` and `users/xxx/mentioned`,
    - then split into 2 post-types:  
    - if post_type="question" then it's a question_id  
     - remaining `post_id`'s are `answer_id`'s: 
        (4) get `question_id`'s from `answer/{ids}`

Finally, combine all question_id's into unique list and query them again, for selected fields from questions/answers/comments. (body, dates, counts, userids, username, wrapper).

Is there a better way to do this?

I've also been fighting the with intermittent "missing comments problem.

Thanks!

It doesn't help that I've been intermittently fighting with the "missing comments" problem.
