I think it's time we had a new sub forum for "tutorials" so that we can use it as a ready reference. As examples, I'm thinking of a place to compile articles like the one C9x just did on tops, and the one Rupnow did on frame design. There are others but you get the drift. It would probably be helpful to format it's access where it could be found readily rather than be buried in the normal index. Posting (as opposed to reading) access would be controlled so that an article (and any additional input) would be reviewed before being "permanently" archived in that subforum. I don't know if your access level permits you to do this kind of formating, but you are the only one that can get to Brent directly if it requires his manipulation.

I'll pass along your suggestion to Brent.

I think that's a great idea if carried out correctly. I think it will take some experimenting to get it down but ya'll is smart and I am confident you can get 'er done. This would surely clear up a lot of redundancy, no? (in the end save bytes, and bytes is money and hemorrhoids after all).

Nice idea. Info can be lost in forums and the search for that info can be as challenging as the the task at hand.

So you want a sticky

I think it's a fine idea, Uncle Bob.

Postings appear every day (some of them mine) relating to subjects or problems that have been addressed before. Frequently many times before.

When that happens you, Bob, can almost always supply a link to a previous posting or a reference source that is right on the money, and I, for one very much appreciate it.

Having to sort through mountains of postings that may or may not contain the needed information is tedious, to say the least, and when that information is found, well, ........ how should I say this? ....... How is one to know that the person supplying the information knows whereof he speaks?

I could crank out long list of people who contribute to this forum whose words I will accept without hesitation. Anybody who has been here very long at all knows who they are. They can, and will, provide reliable and easily accessible guidance.

I hope it happens.
