If you feel that you would like to apologize to everyone involved in this thread, the only way you can do that, so that they will definitely get your post, is to go back to each post and copy each screen name into a “To” field of such a post, separating each screen name with a semicolon. That’s how ping lists are created by the way. People keep a copy of screennames separated by semicolons thwt they made before and then copy and paste that list in the “To” field of a reply to their own thread.

Sorry that’s the only way everyone in this thread or any thread will get such a post delivered to their reply notification (the “New Posts to You” I talked about earlier which are pings to them). Anyone who checks this thread to see new posts on their own will see your post 51 to “All”, so it’s not like that’s lost or anything like that. But if someone who participated in this thread doesn’t check this thread manually in the future then they won’t see your post #51 in their pings.

Personally I wouldn’t worry about it, but it’s up to you if you want to go through the labor of adding everyone’s name to another post like your #51. That’s the only way everyone will get it delivered to them personally though. It’s kind of a pain but it also cuts down on SPAM otherwise it would be too easy to flood everyone’s pings with posts they don’t necessarily want.

There aren’t many documents for “help” other than http://www.freerepublic.com/help.htm I guess.
