ETa: Again thank you for your patience, but I still don't quite understand the suggestion about requests, housekeeping, operations, topics, technical queries, and questions. If I understood I would certainly try to comply, but it would help if I could be provided an example or two of how I have erred

Do you mean that I should consolidate every suggestion or question into a single thread under a single Subject heading, under a single General Topic

Then every time I'd like to present a suggestion, instead of starting a new thread, tediously search through the Active Topics and the Archives until I find one where it seems to belong? then append a followup to this older thread, bumping it back up? In other sites, you can't do that because the archive doesn't bump; instead, unless one's last suggestion is still among the Active Topics, one has to start a new thread

Being an old, helpless non-geek I didn't realize the rules about what goes where were so rigid; but once I understand the exact protocol in detail, I will surely attempt to comply in spite of my advanced age

Incidentally, where to place one's constructive thoughts is often problematical. Since many users typically have occasional suggestions, WW, for instance, has a General Topic called (as I recall) "Suggestions and comments", which, if I'm not being too forward, seems like a good idea

Thus I'm not exactly sure, for instance, where WS protocol would have me situate the foregoing comment/suggestion, though it seemed appropriate right there because it appears to fit the thread
