I had just written a response on Starwise's thread, and when I pushed the "post" button, I got the message that the thread had been deleted as a duplicate. The admin message on the deleted thread had a link to this thread (by xtinct) in the breaking news sidebar. So I wrote another response on this thread. Then when I hit "post", and returned to the main page, I saw yet another thread, the one by GVnana. I started to post my response for the third time on the third thread, but thought "this is crazy!" So I reported to a moderator that there were three threads on this one breaking news story, that it was confusing, and could we just keep the one in the breaking news sidebar (that would be this one)? About a minute later GVnana's thread went poof. I'm sorry I didn't check the timestamps first...I was frustrated. Forgive me?
No forgiveness necessary, sweetie.
Many of us have been posting for years and have encountered the same situation. It can be confusing, and I, for one, never rag on another for such things.
No problem ...
We’re not the ‘deciders’ ... LOL ..
