Having been watching Terri's story closely since before Labor Day, may I recommend that we start making a new monster thread devoted just to Terri and updates on it only? It was quite successful with the first two monster threads. The problem becomes that for newbies, going through 5000+ posts or 2500+ posts is difficult. I recommend that we start a new monster thread whenever the amount of posts starts getting pretty high, my guess would be at the 500-1000 level. We can provide a link to the next monster thread every time a new one is started. Freepers should provide links whenever possible or else copy and paste the info so we don't have to go looking all over. And providing the same keywords would be helpful. Some might be Terri, Terri Schiavo, Schiavo, Schindler Schiavo, euthanasia, prolife, comatose, and Florida. What do you think?

Oops. Mea culpa. I just posted an article about an agency investigating the spousal abuse allegations. Pull it if it adds unnecessarily to the mass of stories.

Just personal preference, but I really don't like monster threads. They make it difficult to sift through commentary -- which is always interesting, but gets voluminous -- for news.

I'm just now back after having 'puter problems, and am overwhelmed by pings. I love 'hearing' the news, but am having trouble following. I think consolidation is a great idea.

And, for the record, FR-addiction is strong....I'm so glad to be back online!
