If it is a technical issue (software coding that archives at X number of posts), it would be nice to know that. If it's an arbitrary decision by the administrator, though, I am baffled. Code can be changed. Alternative archives when I don't even want it to. If only the administrator would recognize that not knowing simple answers is so frustrating, and is a big part of what occupies this whole board. Back to bed with my sorry head.I didn't think to look at the dates. I do think the archiving is unpredictable. For instance, Admin had been sooo long for sooo long, compared to other forums. I thought maybe Dr. Bob just felt it was important to keep access easily available to those threads? Who knows. You're right, when all you can do is speculate, you can come up with some maddening answers. Kind of like the war....okay, don't go there!
I hope you went to bed with your sorry head, and I enjoyed your short rhyme!
Be well, Lar,
