You'll want to add this to the place where split/splice opens the thread list to reprint the spliced output

It usually does this through a loop and this will skip any blank lines.

next if /^(\s)*$/; 

You could also use chomp($_); to remove any extra new line charcaters that might be popping up.

I don't have the split/splice code in front of me now, but when I do, I'll try to point you to where to add the code.
