Dave, fair or not, that is the way the forum is, and unless you and other TM's plan on switching thread titles whenever you notice a stray comment, I don't think it's going to change. I, and most other regulars and not regulars, make every effort to start threads in their appropriate sections, with an appropriate title. But because messages and replys almost always touch on multiple issues, variance is going to happen. If it doesn't, or messages are going to be butchered and moved around and whatnot, at the whim of Adesk and TM's, them I'm going to SERIOUSLY rethink the amount of time I dedicate to recieving and giving on this forum, and I don't think I'm the only one. I'm not suggesting that you or any other TM's shouldn't touch threads, move them, etc… I think you guys have been doing a great job. I AM, however, concerned that meddling with the dynamic, organic nature of this forum is going to spoil it. If you look back at Jonas' comments, he was not alluding that we change the way the forum works. His comments were directed more at newcomers and folks that don't spend a lot of time here, so they get an idea of why this forum is the way it is. I can agree with this. Frankly, I don't hear a lot of complaints about this forum. I'm sure there are some, but there will by complaints about everything everywhere all the time. That is the nature of diversity. As a matter of fact, most of the comments I see congratulate Adesk and the Yost Group for offering such a lively, vibrant, and useful place to check in to.
