Why are you wasting Dale’s web space this way? If you’re trying to bump posts off the bottom of the page, it’s pretty pointless…people are just going to go around your empty posts to get to the ones they haven’t read (and it’s not your place to do this in any case).
I don’t know what Dale and Rich’s policy is, but on the sites I administer, this kind of thing would be grounds for a warning and possible banning.

It was needed.
It’s pointless. If there are objectionable threads (and I agree that some have gotten pretty nasty), it makes more sense to ask Rich to delete them. This just wastes space.

I’m with Redwolf on this one.
Taking action is risky buisness. Talk about wasted space, there has been plenty of that lately.

It’s also bothersome (for me, at least) at this time of the evening, when I have to share the computer. I get a few minutes to log onto C&F and find most of the last couple of days posts bumped into the “unread” zone, even though there’s been no new content. I clicked on three before realized they’d all been artificially bumped.
We’re all big kids here. If there are objectionable threads, ask to have them removed (or, if they’re yours, lock them) and let’s get on with life.

Regardless of reasons, it’s called “flooding the board” and I don’t know about chiff, but in every other message board I’ve been to, it’s an automatic-ban offense. I’d go back and delete those things if I were you.
hmmmm…
Wow…the mood of the board is really getting pissy lately.
I mean, people are getting upset about almost anything anymore. Whatever happened to whistle talk?

It may be the weather.
Well, I know the past two weeks have been really… *&^#%%$!@!!..
Grannymouse is a cutie-pie!
Sorry Redwolf for bumping this, but I think with the record cold over most of North America and the storms throtling the continent, everybody is getting cabin fever or SAD - season adjustment disorder.
It’s only explanation I can come up with.

“Time to take your MEDICINE!!!” Ooo, cabin fever, sorry.

The weather, indeed! And now the 50/50 chance that the Mid-Atlantic states could get hit with the BIG ONE this Sunday! 
Since this thread is already at the top of the page, I’ll add a message to it, in violation of my self-imposed moratorium on participating in non-whistle-related discussions.
I’ve apologised in more than one post for the confusion and inconvience I caused by my poorly reasoned attempt to get some persistent, hostile threads off the front page. Now I would be relieved if this thread would be allowed to disappear too. All the comments on it were justified, but it’s saddening for me to see it keep coming up.
Best wishes to all,
Jerry
