Once upon a time, Permathreads were sorta green, and at the top of the index.....now there are too many to do that way, but being hidden in the second level of the drop-down menu, they are too easy to ignore and miss. If there were a way to indicate what was in the menu, we all might read them more often. Same with "What's On"....I don't know how that might work, but am thinking. Right now, there aren't a huge number of 'local' events. If it gets out of hand, it will be obvious.In the meantime, those who post them should be clear in their titles.



As to other issues:
   "A camel is a horse designed by a committee"

We need to not throw too many personal ideas about management & operations about. If you think you have a serious one, communicate it privately thru channels, rather than creating a public free-for-all on how to run the place. If a general debate on some issue is needed, Max or Joe or Jeff can solicit it.

Money: Like some others, ready cash is not always easy for me....but I do have some LPs and occasional books...and I make things from wood that I could auction, like MMario does with shawls. I will start planning some system.

Max...pop in from time to time and say "hello" and give a nudge and maybe a clarification or two. (God supposedly handed down the 10 Commandments several thousand years ago, with no regular communications since.*wry grin* You see what has happened as his followers 'debated' the rules among themselves!)
   Let us know how things are going on the technical front, as well as the financial front....and a picture of the family, too, maybe. Last time I talked to you, you even said "hey, maybe so" to my suggestion that you post a picture of **Mudcat Central** so we can appreciate where all this mess resides.

.....keep on keeping on. We'll help.
