Yes! That is exactly how it will work in the future.

OK that would be pretty cool. So what I said in post #109 will be incorrect!

What about old articles , say on the bang_list and calpowercrisis?

Will this scheme pick up some of older threads?

OK, John - I **think** that I understand this. I went to the "official bump_list registry" at http://www.freerepublic.com/perl/bump-list, and added the new group Hugh Hewitt, with an appropriate description.

So far, so good.
Then I went to a few relevent threads, and posted a reply To:Hugh Hewitt - and got the *Hugh Hewitt replies posted.

Problem is, I went back and MODIFIED the description - two or three times - to get it to display properly, and NOW the listing on http://www.freerepublic.com/perl/bump-list does NOT work.

It seems that the Hugh Hewitt listed on that page now points to http://www.freerepublic.com/perl/involved?group=81 - which has no threads, and NOT the original http://www.freerepublic.com/perl/involved?group=75 - which does.

I hope that this is a short term glitch, right?

(The old-fashioned Search for Articles + Replies to:"Hugh Hewitt" still works.)

Thanks. This is a WONDERFUL new feature. I love ALL the new changes!!!

Awesome!! Does this mean I'm beginning to think like you? Or even scarier, you're beginning to think like me! BWAHAHAHA

I also started my own personal

NEVER PING

list for those who sounded like or actually who told me on query that they never wanted pinged for any reason.
