I think a link is just fine, so long as it doesn't go away completely. I find it to be a helpful resource. It looks great and any tweaking you do will be greatly appreciated.
I think a link might be the way to go as well. I'd rather keep each thread as 'current' as possible.. if I keep it offsite, I can edit it whenever I have time as well.. rather than waiting on a new thread.
I have started tackling some thoughts I had for the TM over the past few months, but had no time to try out.. I want it to be easy for people to look at the current thread, and be able to put together some sort of picture without having read the previous year of postings. It's a daunting task for those who wander in..
