I noticed that you have only made one Q post for his recent updates. Is that the agreement to keep the trolls out?

I intended to ping new drops but didn’t count on the exploding size of the thread. I intended to ping new drops. Now I am thinking about how to do that. FReepers helped me figure out the “plan” for my threads so far by making suggestions and sharing concerns. I have to look to them to help me figure this out too. I could ask people to make sure they post the number of the drop when posting new drops. I could use my brower’s “find on page” feature to locate the first instance of a drop on thread and pinging to that. But in this case we had multiple drops so that would be multiple pings for each and I would have had to be present for them in order to ping them in a timely manner. Once I got to my computer there were already 700 posts and I didn’t know where the new drops were located. I had to go out repeatedly through the day and I began to think this thread wouldn’t have pings to drops partly because it seems like everyone is already here and partly because I couldn’t do it in a timely manner (had to get through hundreds of drops first?) So I am open to suggestions. I would like to make this work. I don’t know how often we will have so many drops of such a nature that might inspire 1000 posts. Would people send their ideas to me vi private message even if you also post them in the forum? I have a steady flow of emails and I am still not caught up in the forum. I so appreciate all the posts - I just wasn’t prepared for a thread this size. :)
