I'm one who won't read old threads..if I open one up and it says 1999 or whatever I either skip to the very bottom or I just close it. I think clickies are fine referring people to old ones...I'd rather not see the old one unless I clicked though. To me it is not that the old discussion had no value; it is like saying at a party, we had that conversation 2 years ago and here is a transcript of it so we don't need to go over it again. I personally don't care how many times we discuss the Green Fields of France...if people are bored answering questions let the newer people answer them..someone will... mg
