Please read the article - you'll 'get it' perhaps, on why I don't give my normal posting handle. If not, please let me know. 8^)
I have a question/suggestion that you can bring up with the other moderators/and management: Since you guys can move things in and out of the sidebar, is it possible for you to move out a "thread one" of something placed in breaking news, once a "thread two" is posted there?
I don't know if anyone else thinks this is a good idea, so post your impressions. If you don't like my idea then I will promptly hit abuse, however. ;^)
