I understand what JAB means by "scrolling into the sunset" - I too am sometimes disapointed that queries disapear before I've gotten complete answers from the amazing variety of experienced people out there. I know, of course, that you can go back 365 days, but when I set the thread for "1" day I feel I'm current -- in the "here and now" -- and not reading stale news. It also tells me there was not enough interest to keep the thread going, and it perhaps should die a natural death. Of course they do sometimes come back to life. The Mudcat Forum, like everything else in modern life, is just getting more complicated, and one learns to skim its increasingly rich menu and choose what you want to dine on.
