>Won't just editing a post over and over keep the thread at the top? That way, the thread doesn't have to keep
getting longer.

I think that posts keep their original date (and position) no matter when edited, but. I also think that jo has added to the thread and then immediately deleted the new post, which removes any trace but has the effect of moving it back to the top (briefly ;). [whoever added the last post could try this and confirm.]

Hi all,

You may have noticed that the thread pops back to top page every once in a while. I have done this by copying then deleting my post (which is the last one down) and posting a response to wow with exactly same text. This method keeps the thread from getting longer. I try to do it every so often to keep it on top.

I can`t get to AWAD every day though so sometimes it will go three days, or so, before it is brought up again, but I don`t think that is too bad. I don`t want to foist the responsibility on Jo. I think she has done more than she had to in putting all this info together and I really don`t mind.
