In light of the nearly constant carping from ONE particular member to "cull the heard" of some nailed section(s) posts, I ask several questions:
1. Are there too many posts/threads that should be un-nailed? 2. Who should decide if they are inappropriate to the topic? 3. If, after deemed inappropriate to the thread/forum, should they me simply deleted? Should they be moved to some sort of limbo for aperiod of time before deletion? 4. Should they just be sent to the "limbo" category forever? 5. If sent to "limbo", should the posts be left there indefinitely? There are many anomolies to the early production 914's. These are old cars. Production of the early ones was filled with on-the-spot changes. 6. Many other questions........ Look, I'm just trying to do my job here. I do not know everything about every model produced. I will NOT be the judge of every post. I "moderate". That's all. In the rare occasion that something is inappropiate I have moved threads. Last thing I want is for my buds to be p_ssed off at me for my lack of knowledge of every 914 ever produced, in any iteration. Again, my job is to MODERATE. Guidance please! Pat |

UPDATE!
First, subtopics are out! Don't know the spcifics of this nut suppose that they are hogs and unmanageable. However, I've been working with McMark (Admin), who has provided a pretty workable substitute (I think). Mark has alo provided a "plyaground" where I can test formats offline and bring them into the O&H forum when ready. Snippets from the original nailed threads will be utilized, but expansion of content will occur. It's not going to be an easy task, and slow, but we'll get it done. The nailed threads will be just that - nailed. In fact, they'll be locked. Comments and suggestions will be considered, and maybe incorporated, but they'll need to be made outside of those threads. Since I am n expert on all models of 914's, I will probably need input as to the validity of some requests. Posts made available to the individual closed threads will be judged as to relevancy by all posters. They may or mat not be included. This will not be a wiki, and it will be my final attempt at pleasing and informing all (good luck to me with that). It's in the works. It isn't going to happen overnight. Your input is not only appreciated, but requested. Pray for me! Pat |
