Time-specific threads
 

Here's a suggestion: when starting a thread about a specific point in time, could y'all please specify in the subject line exactly what date to which you are referring? Some examples I have seen in the past include:

"American Airlines to file for bankruptcy tommorrow"
"LAX shut down tonight due to thunderstorms"
"Anyone at the SFO Admirals club this afternoon"

You get the idea! Once the point in time referred to in the thread has passed, these posts become somewhat useless and/or confusing. It would be much more helpful if the subjects of the above examples could be:

"American Airlines to file for bankruptcy on 12/1/02"
"LAX shut down on the evening of 11/12/03 due to thunderstorms"
"Anyone at the SFO Admirals Club on the afteroon of 11/13/03"

Excellent idea and one that I will try to remember when starting new topics!

Is there anyway for us to get this out to the broader community...???

I agree that it is a problem... I particulary cringe when I see the "HELP?" topics....

I doubt many people see this thread in this forum since it is often viewed as suggestions for Randy and his technical team.

Perhaps a community notice?
