I have to apologize to Ursula.
It wasn't you that slapped my knuckles way back on that first day. It did make me feel as though I somehow wasn't coloring inside the lines and I have tread lightly since.
I am daunted by the endless threads and don't usually bother to read them, especially when I go away for a day and discover I'm 3 pages behind. If the thread is new, I jump right in. Can't wait until August 1 so we can start with a clean slate and I can be back on page 1 again.
I do appreciate the sense of community that you seem to have but I'm not sure why we should only have 3 threads. The newbies that show up and ask their questions either quickly fade away or join a conversation someplace. Those original threads slip off the end of the page never to be seen again.
We are the ones making these small threads into larger threads by doing what I am doing right now: Changing the subject and wondering off on some new tangent. If we could let new members start their threads and answer their questions without making a big fuss about it, that thread will slowly drift away and they will be on to other more established threads. Just don't worry about all those new weird threads that pop up. The three or four threads that you want to be at the top of the page will be at the top of the page because of all the traffic passing through them.
